I’m a recent “switcher.” A little more than a year ago, I got me one of them new Intel Macbook Pros, and I’ve been a happy little Mac user ever since.

One of the reasons I switches was hard drive failure. I’ve usually had most of my files backed up, but somehow the music always seemed to fly away. Once there was a time when my iPod and my PC crashed at the same time, or crashed each other somehow.

That’s when I had to reload my music. I think i’ve had to do that at least twice over the last year. Probably my fault, but hey, it’s a bitch to have to do that. And each time you lose the music you bought from iTunes.

So I was reading this article about how Apple will give you a one-time re-download of all your purchased music. Went to Apple’s site, signed in, and popped them a quick email.

I didn’t hear back, but I just loaded up iTunes and went to Store>Check for Puchases. Bingo! One hundred and sixty downloads!

Def Leppard here we come.
