I agree entirely. I have just spent 30 minutes explaining why and this forum logged me out and I lost it all. I will be brief this time and type it in in smaller chunks. - We have front-end, back-end system. - Logitech have the front-end brilliantly sorted out. The Classic, the Boom, the Duet - world beaters. The new products make this even better. 10x ? 100x ? I don't know but now I have been told the Touch is the same price as the Classic then that is good news. - the back end is a nightmare for some users and just not worth the bother for all too many others. - I show off my Classic and Boom to anyone who listen. I have demonstrated the Boom to my College classes as one example of what you can do with wireless networking. Nobody, not even my daughters who fully understand my passion, have then gone out and bought one. Small sample I agree, but disappointing. to be continued... -- dBerriff SB3, Boom, AVI ADM9.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dBerriff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12247 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67399 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
