First, thanks to the Collegian for giving Napster woes some exposure in Thursday's paper ("Napster woes continue on campus," Sept. 29). I've been skeptical since Penn State offered Napster "free" to all students nearly two years ago.

My personal computer is an Apple, and as such, I can't use the Napster service. Yet, my information technology fee has increased along with other students' fees.

Is it fair that I pay for this service that I cannot use? (The exact numbers of how much I'm paying remain a secret to preserve the "great deal" we're getting. Sound fishy to you too?)

I voiced this concern to a Penn State Napster representative, who advised me that Napster was available in the computer labs, and I could use the service there. However, I live off campus, which leaves me unable to enjoy Napster at night when I have free time to listen to music.

ResCom South Halls Manager Josh Fleming seems to sum up the university's attitude in the article. "Many people have accepted [the fact that Napster does not work on Macs] at this point; they know what to expect," he said. This is the problem precisely.

If you're an Apple-using student, don't remain quiet -- voice your concerns.

Napster is not the complete legal music solution as Penn State would like you to believe. It is an outrage that we foot the bill.
