Damager,

I am very nearly in your camp. My Wife is of the 'throw that damn thing
away and give me my wave radio back' school, but I have stuggled through
and now have a system which is stable - most of the time. I have
recommended squeeze proucts (the Duet unfortunately) to non technical
friends (3) who have now all given up on the system and have it
gathering dust in cupboards.

As an aging EE graduate who cut his teeth programming PDP-11s in binary
from the front panel switches I have enjoyed learning about TCP/IP and
wandering around my house with NetStumbler, but I think that raises real
questions about whether the products are really ready for the
mainstream.  For those who care, my experience is:

Transporter (wired) - no problems
SB3 (wireless) - occasional problems
Duet (2 of them, wireless) hopeless until the last couple of releases,
still not great
Boom (2 of them wireless) - occasional problems

Given the new products that Logitech seem to have in development
(Radio, Touch) it does look as if their engineering smarts are being
dragged away from software developing and fixing for existing products
and are working on the new stuff. Development of the whole new database
back end must also be a significant distraction. This is unfortunate, as
most forums on the web(correctly in my opinion) describe the squeeze
products as innovative, but really only suitable for geeks. I do think
Logitech should focus on getting their existing line stable.

My next door neighbour has Sonos. In my opinion, it isn't cutting edge,
looks clunky and has limited options.  He had it professionaly
installed, and says he has never had a single problem. My Wife would
drop squeeze and get Sonos in a heartbeat. I just keep hoping that the
next software release will fix all my problems........
