Your points are both well taken, even though Travis needs to spend a little quiet time for uncivil behavior. I'm not sure where we disagree. If Apple's lawyers thought its position was strong enough to kill CT, I have no doubt that Jobs would have gone for CT's throat. Hi TomB and Travis.

I would characterize this as Apple buying Creative's patents for little money, thereby enlarging their muli-billion dollar empire in music.

And, as you say:"CT… Now it’s the biggest iPod booster on Planet Earth."
