Pete,

What utter crap.
You should know better..... love ya !

Anyway. from a screen writer friend


Purple Violets is hitting iTunes tonight, and is being written in  
history as the very first feature length film to be distributed  
exclusively through iTunes. That's right. No DVDs. No theatrical  
premiere. Just iTunes.
