I don't think XP would, out of the box.  But if they've played with
iTunes, or one of the other similar things, they've probably added
what's needed.

I only had about a couple of years of lessons, my music teacher stopped
teaching for quite some time after his daughter was murdered.

I play keyboard instruments.

I was thinking that mantra, over and over, yesterday.  And I still
managed to do it twice.  And you just know that when you try to fix it
up, the wires will get mangled.

There's an extra clause:  If it's a multi-pin, you'll notice you've done
it just before you finish.
