Somebody took my reference to "enthusiastic amateurs" as an insult. It wasn't intended as that. I've asked for help here before and received it. It seems to me to be a friendly community of people who enjoy working with the SB. I disagree with the people who claim that amateurs are the cream of the crop and are likely to produce better software than professionals.
Again, I'm not trying to insult people here. I'm coming at this from a different angle to most. I'm not the least interested in getting into debugging the code or faffing around with techie stuff. That's my day job. I simply want the SB to do what it says on the tin. For the record, the situation I often encounter is that, at the least provocation, slim.exe will start using 90-odd percent of the CPU and stay that way. Eventually it will start to stutter. Stopping and starting it sometimes fixes it; sometimes a machine reboot is needed. The type of event that triggers this behaviour seems very varied: stopping and staring a firewall, starting a download on another machine on the network, receiving an e-mail, or, sometimes, nothing at all. I've used SB1 and SB2 on various flavours of linux and windows and on many different combinations of hardware. I've never had a settled system and it just gets very wearisome when all I want to do is listen to some music. -- keithleng _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
