You need to be careful with Wikipedia - another article on the same web site reports the inception date of iTunes as 2001. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes

This article on MacWorld also states 2001. http://www.maclife.com/article/featu...itunes_history

Either 2001 or 2003 is fine with me, but it seemed important to you.

However, since you felt it necessary to bring politics into the discussion, I think my participation in the discussion is over. I don't mix audio & music with politics. Feel free to have the last word.
