Hi Peter, I live in Washington DC. Part of my job is IT for the company. I am always talking to people about two things. Photography and music. Of all the people I rub elbows with daily, all but one would be in deep doo-doo with a Slim product. My son, who is scary smart and probably wouldn't have an issue, thinks the thing is way too much trouble when he can liten to his iPod, which I just found out has Pandora, or his computer. Believe me, I've tried to get him hooked, but to no avail. I even try to get his buddies interested when they come over. No go. And the girls...we won't even talk about the looks I get. Anyway, since I really don't 'love' computers we probably run in different circles, but I know a lot of bright people in the communications business, etc. and they still are amazed when a reboot fixes their problems. It's like, "Ooooo, fire". BTW, in 2005 1.6 billion people did not have access to electricity. It's really not as prevalent as you might think. I can drive 120 miles out of DC and find houses without electricity or running water. Amish not included :-) Howard -- Howard Passman Sorry slow to respond. I don't spend that much time online and God knows I can't type. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Howard Passman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16674 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52598 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
