Rats! the new version of iTunes lets me down

Waiting for me on my computer this morning was a notification that there was an Apple iTunes 10.2 update available.  I click on install and was given the usual License Agreement text to agree to; usually i don't read these too closely, but this time i looked—only one thing really stuck out:

THE APPLE SOFTWARE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS, LIFE SUPPORT MACHINES OR OTHER EQUIPMENT IN WHICH THE FAILURE OF THE APPLE SOFTWARE COULD LEAD TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.

Damn it all to hell!  All my plans to continue running my secret fission reactor, my air traffic control business, and independent hospital ICU with iTunes are foiled!  I thought that was what iTunes was supposed to be used for!

All this stuff with music, isn't that just a side gimmick?  Maybe i should have stuck with the old version—it's been handling all the air traffic of Acton International Airport, plus a roomful of coma patients on ventilators.  Oh well, maybe Apple will bring those features back in the next version.
