My music server runs on a 10 year old Pentium II machine. I had to change to linux but it still works fine.
I'm sure it's not the processor that will present a long term reliability problem for squeezebox players. I don't know the reliability numbers for the types of displays used on the transporter or SB3 but I would guess they would be one of the lower reliability parts in the device. Unfortunately, there are a lot of devices that end up not being manufactured for 10 years. This is probably even more true if the part isn't used by several manufacturers in various kinds of products. It would be nice if logitech could take a crack at the reliablility statistics knowing the number of units in the field and do a last time buy for support purposes. I wouldn't want to be a customer service person telling transporter customers their 4 year old unit can't be repaired. Many appliances don't get repaired because the basic cost of any repair is more than the cost of a new unit. This is true for a $50 toaster but not for a $2000 transporter. -- eschurig ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eschurig's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2175 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71997 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
