The program I suggested above, Winamp with the Ipod plugin, will work on Windows ME. You just won't be able to use iTunes, which is Apple's music management program. As much as I despise Windows ME, I'm not sure I'd recommend a non-technical person to install an OS upgrade just to use an Ipod. Particulary someone who is not having problems, and is planning to purchase aa new laptop.
