Oh, I hate apple

[hal]

DAMN - when other companies do this, I leave...

Itunes was bouncing in the dock... it wanted my password so it could check and see it there was anything to download. Suddenly my password is no good it seems (the one that has bee used forEVER). I enter it and reenter it - no go...

I go to the reset password page and set it to the what it should be.

REJECTED - that password was used in the last year...

try another one

REJECTED - there must be at least one numeral

again

REJECTED - there must be at least one capitalized letter

I use a '$'

REJECTED - there must be at least one capitalized letter

it took forever to get it to accept something... I return to itunes and enter the new password. NO GO!

I call apple - this is not something that humans there deal with... pointed me to a web page...

UGH!!!

Start typing a message on the webpage and try itunes again - this time I get a weird error... tried again and it worked... but now I have this entirely unique, unrememberable password for my itunes account... argh!

of course I can't leave apple.... I just curse and move on... but came here to whine first...

there... that's better....
