Dear iTunes,

[da]

Whose brilliant idea was it that you can't buy iTunes gift-certificates from Apple Canada unless you've installed iTunes and opened an account yourself? Yes, I realize that in the US you can buy certificates at Staples or other stores. And yes, I realize that you can buy 'used' certificates on ebay.ca. But seriously, Apple is being uncharacteristically dense regarding the Grandma market. I'm leery of buying those from ebay, and I'm pretty savvey.

Oh, and it looks like you can't use US gift cards in Canada, either.

Grumble.

Sincerely, Me.
