Read the OP idiot, which apparently, none of you can read. I've already explain WHY she has it yet I'm still having to read through posts like this.

its a program. get over it. its not going to cause harm to anyone, including you or her, so it means nothing. its not spyware riddled, so who cares. if you cared about your mum you'd get rid of AOL.. itunes is not the problem
In my book, iTunes and aol are the same thing, both worthless POS excuses for software. You say it isn't going to harm her, couldn't the same thing be said about aol? Ya know what happened when I tried to get rid of her aol? She said she'd rather DIE than live with out her aol. It's like friggen dog who found a bone and when you try to take it away, that sweet puppy becomes a vicious creature.

God you're a moron. So I assume you have all sorts of 'utilities' like weather bug, bonzi buddy and aol, right? Right? You've got those search bars on top of internet explorer, right? How about real player? Like music match? Cause you've got to have at least 5 programs that do the same thing, all running in the background just in case you need to load it up!
Hmm:
1) Weather Bug--no idea what that is
2) bonzai buddy-hell no
3) AOL--no way in hell(AFAIK AOL is still barred from access to this website anyway)
4) search bars on IE-don't use IE
5) Real Player-Yes, for the occassional linked vid
6) Music Match-don't know what it is
If I had all those things running, wtf would it matter anyway? My computer(as is your Mothers), my perogative.

One of my sisters is a fairly successful artist who every once in a while makes art for music videos etc. and my mom said that she needed to either watch one of her videos or there was something on there that she needed to listen to. I also asked if she purchased anything from there and she said, "oh god no.." so eh. I'm still frustrated with her spending habits though, shes trying to find an excuse to buy a new laptop and recently she happen to 'oops, break it' a bit.. (Sounds like an excuse to get a new one) when her laptop functions perfectly fine and is only 2 years old.
you do know the only way to get quicktime also installs itunes?
Because that means-->slow computer--->honey, can you fix my computer? It's slow!--->Frustration and me leaving the room--->Ok I'm buying a new laptop now--->No you're not, all it will do is prevent you from getting any work done, your laptop works fine-->arguement--->another post on atot.Originally posted by: sandorski

Also your post clearly shows how computer illiterate, well in a 'way' at least, you are. You may know how to navigate your computer but it's clear you haven't encountered the crap that people tend to pick up as they surf the 'net...

She didn't install quicktime because she already had it on there...well at least quicktime alternative.
i can't stand AOL, or AIM...i use miranda. you'd never catch me with weather bug or bonzai buddy on my machine...
i can't stand music match, or real media, and would never install that crap
i use opera, and don't install some crap tool bars or add ins on my IE
however, i use iTunes, and LOVE it!!

good for you, that doesn't change the fact that it's a bloated POS excuse for a music managing software. Trust me, soon you people will realize it's crap and it does infact need to be removed, the same people who have been saying iTunes is fine are the same people who were saying AOL is fine and it's not really *that big of a deal*.
I rarely ever post in OT, and this thread is a prime example why. I just don't understand why people feel compelled to respond to idiocy, and stupidity.
See ya back in the "real" fourms...

It's ok, if the mods follow my request, ever numbskull who posted in this thread will be banned, including you!
What bothers me is this idea that he thinks he controls his mom and her money. Unless you make it, shut up. As far as it being your dad's money, they are married, it is *THEIR* money. If your dad has a problem with how it is spent, then let him deal with it, not you.
I find it hilarious that an argument ensues after you tell her she won't get a new notebook. Who the hell are you to tell your mom what she will and will not get? Especially if you are living under their roof.
My mom used AOL for a long time. It served her purpose and worked well. She eventually moved to a local ISP. I don't tell her what to install, and I fix the problems she has, either that or I ask one of my local buddies to do it.
Funny, they will fix it for her for free, as will I, free of cost and free of any snot nosed remarks on how she should live her life. Why? Because it's called respect and curtousy, it's obviously something you lack.
You owe your mom your life and all you can do is trash her on an internet board. You owe her your security and house and all you can do is argue with her when she wants help. You are a disgrace to children. Show your mom this thread, tell her you are sorry, and then fix whatever she needs fixed.

I feel sorry for goku's mom She has to put up with a useless piece of sh!t son like goku. :|
Unless you're paying rent and earning money to pay for household things, you need the STFU goku and apologize to your mother. Damned kids think they know everything these days and actually know nothing.

Somehow, I don't see the mods listening to your "request." But feel free to continue insulting everyone and flamboyantly trolling, *maybe* it'll happen.
Well, to tell you the truth, nobody care about your holier than thou crap, nobody cares than you're a saint, oh wait, no body cares. You enter thread, you leave thread, good bye.
Ok, here is something analogous to what you said.
Thread topic
MFG I found porn on my sons computeR!!! What should I do?Reply: OMFG I found an e-mail on my sons computer, what should I do?
Your reply is the equivalent of this.
To me, iTunes=viruses/spyware.
Funny, you guys flame me for getting all pissy about iTunes being install on her system yet are you guys the same people who say after repairing a relative's/parent's machine, you should put them on a limited account so the wouldn't do that again?
iTunes is not the same as bonzai buddy. Bonzai Buddy and Watherbug and all those other programs are spyware and are usually installed on accident when visiting shady websites. iTunes is a legit program from a legit company. You may or may not like it, but you must realize your comparison with shady spyware applications is invalid.
No, they ARE the same as spyware. In case you didn't notice, bonzai buddy AND weather bug do infact provide a service much like iTunes.
