Look at the release date on Tiger - April of '05. That means Panther was the current OS less than 2 and 2/3 years ago, not five years (the Nano was released in September so Panther was less than 2 and 1/2 years old at that time). If I buy just about any Mac compatible printer out there it has drivers that work with Panther. If the printer manufacturers can manage to support Panther, it's hard to imagine that it is too much of a burden for Apple to do with its own iPods. Sorry, but I think this is ridiculous. I bought my wife a Nano for Christmas not having it occur to me that it wouldn't be compatible with and OS that isn't that old. Fortunately I have Tiger on my Mac Pro so we set up her up as a separate User and copied her iTunes over to that account. I just don't think we should have had to do that, though.
