+1 I think the single argument that can possibly excuse dropping the VFD technology is the fact it was using too much power. But then I expected to see something like an e-paper type screen as a replacement. Certainly something a bit more sophisticated and practical than the LCDs we have now. Cheap products can also be unprofitable.
As for the Boom, I watch for it from times to times on amazon.fr and its price is still stable. I'll snatch 1 or 2 units when EOL time approaches. --and Transporter is still 1999 on logitech.fr !! -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 2 SB Classic (fw 130), 1 SB Boom (fw 50) SqueezeCenter 7.3.4 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: ContextMenu, SaverSwitcher by Peter Watkins Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) FindArt, CDplayer by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple TrackStat by Erland Isaksson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82446
