> How's your Sony betamax working these days? If owning a squeezebox is as dumb as buying a betamax player then what are you doing wasting your time on this mailing list? Go return that thing! Get rid of it while you can still get your money back!
You have failed to address any of the very rational questions or arguments that have been offered to you. You have made several unfounded and suspect accusations in this thread. Just because you, NHGuy, in your incredible wisdom and foresight, have declared Slim's business choices to be ill-advised means very little to this community. People will buy what works for them and time will tell what wins out. Your feedback as to what you value in a product is certainly welcome, but you can leave it at that, at that point you can buy a device or not buy it. SlimDevices has done more than most in offering a 30-day money back guarantee, responding to their users, adding features, and in having open-source software that allows for the easy expansion of the software by its user-base. No need to make accusations of false advertising when you can't point to a single instance of it. The betamax comparison is completely false. Slim has designed the architecture of their units to be much more flexible and upgradable than any other networked media player I've seen. Even if slimdevices were to go under *today* you'd still have this user-base improving the product. As a comparison, I doubt you can find any networked media player from circa 2001 besides the Slimp3 that is still seeing active development and improvements on a daily basis. And while we're all looking into our crystal balls, I'll bet that in a few years your squeezebox will still be relevant and functional while other similar devices will have become irrelevant. Maybe you still don't agree with me--that's ok too, no one's twisting your arm and making you keep your squeezebox. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
