Yes, but in the above example the person in question *wasn't* buying music
online, therefore *for them* it didn't matter any more than someone who
can't drive only having a choice of Ford cars.

Yes, you can use the term 'lock in' to describe the iPod/iTMS combo but it's
not like Apple hide this from you. Only each individual can decide if this
is a good thing *for them* or not.
