That's like asking "how long is a piece of string?" Since what you mean by "too much" is obviously nothing more than "more than I think it should" nobody can dispute that; you're free to think whatever you like.
But your claim that a low-end PC should be the price point of reference is simply silly. The SB isn't a PC, and isn't intended to be. No bottom-end PC is going to produce the sound that the SB does. The point that a PC "can do more" than the SB is also silly. A cheap toaster can do things neither the SB nor the PC can do, but so what? I have dremel tool that can do lots of different things, and it cost less than the SB or a PC. But I don't base my notion of the value of either of those around the cost of a dremel tool. Ultimately, the concept of "costs too much" is nothing more than a personal opinion of the value of an item. If you're willing to pay the price for it, then by definition it doesn't cost too much. If you're not willing to pay the price, then it costs too much. That's the only definition of "too much" that has any meaning. Any attempt to discuss whether something "costs too much" in any other terms is sheer amphigory. -- Dogberry2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dogberry2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64207 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
