Before abandoning this thread entirely I will post a small coment to some of my own predictions.

And the fact that I was proven wrong in other aspects just makes me glad. Especially that it will be able to run TinySC excites me very much. By the time we finish building a new living room on the second floor, the Touch and SBS 8.0 will be ready and then i will most definately get one for it. And even the missus will support the purchase for being able to remove the musicserver and serve as a basic NAS as well. I don't need the WebUI and never transcode anyway. What a laugh the developers and beta tester must have had reading this thread. -- Muele BR Mogens 2 Controllers, 2 Receivers, 1 Squeezeplay.
