How can two people share a computer and get their own music when they sync an iPod to the same copy of iTunes?

Both users should set up playlists of the music they like, then tell iTunes to sync only those collections.

So, for example, after Jill has put her favorites into the "Jill's music" playlist, she would plug in her iPod, click on the "Music" tab in iTunes, click the check box next to "Selected playlists" and pick "Jill's music." Jack would repeat the exercise with his "Jack's music" playlist.

If a playlist exceeds the iPod's capacity, they could create a second, smart playlist. Each user would go to iTunes' File menu and select "New Smart Playlist." In that window, the person would select "Playlist" from the left-most pull-down menu and pick the playlist just created from the pull-down menu on the right.

Then he would click the check box next to "Limit to," select "MB" or "GB" from the adjacent pull-down menu and enter a number suitable for the iPod's capacity. Finally, each would return to his iPod's music-sync screen and select the new smart playlist.

A couple of unwanted programs are stuck on my PC, and Windows' "Add or Remove Programs" control panel won't uninstall them. What other options do I have?

Most commercial system-repair utilities include an uninstaller, but if you haven't bought one of those packages, try the free ZSoft Uninstaller ( www.zsoft.dk).

This compact program will first display all the programs listed in Add or Remove Programs. Click its "Analyze" button to generate a more complete database of what's on your computer. At that point, you can select an unwanted program and click ZSoft's "Uninstall" button to yank it from your system.
