"Most companies?" Please name some examples of small private companies who have posted financials, or any REAL information about their financial state which can be proven to be truthful. Slim Devices has no obligation whatsoever to divulge *anything* about their financial state to *anyone* but their own private investors. (And you know what? I hope they don't! I sure wouldn't, and never on a forum.) whizkid Wrote: > As for "if they drop dead tomorrow you still have a functioning system". > True, but for how long?

I'll have a functioning system, which does everything I want to do, until the hardware dies or until Slimserver stops functioning with Windows XP (or whatever comes later). I can write some Perl and I have tons of folks around in this forum, willing to help me figure it out. I'm willing to bet I would not be "stranded" for years, even with no other products to choose from. And judging from the fact that a co-worker has had a SliMP3 for several years and has only recently upgraded Slimserver in that time, I'm not too worried. I don't know why I'm even replying to this silly thread. -- Dave D _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
