Money For Ones And Zeroes

For the first time in my life, I recently broke down and payed money for ones and zeroes.

I have an app on every digital device I own that i use to play Sirius satellite radio.

Three weeks after I purchased a license, I get a message that says...

"NiceMac has decided in their best interest, to discontinue the StarPlayr project and will be issuing refunds to StarPlayr for Windows Mobile customers. To request a refund, simply copy and paste your StarPlayr for Windows Mobile PayPal receipt via our email form. Please allow 10 business days to receive your refund."

I cannot tell you how much I hate the world today.

Not only did I pay for the software, but I pay a monthly fee to listen to satellite radio. But apparently that means I've only payed to hear it in my car? And they'll require another fee to hear it in my house? And when I'm in the doctor's office, I'm just simply not legally allowed to listen?

And now when I log in to my XM radio account, it says that today is my last chance for free online listening?

Sigh.
