this is actually a perfect example of what i'm talking about that some people are trying to dismiss. u need to know very little to almost nothing to setup a wifi apple device, and once you do, its basically forever. compare that to the ip3k products, which many people here, some posting how easy this all is, don't even attempt dhcp with anymore. true, the OP is talking touch but i seem to recall a lot of problems with the touch when it rolled out anyway, no?
in addition, airplay has no problems with multiple wifi hops. i was able to stream from a laptop hd via wifi to a router back to a wifi APX. absolutely no drops, no problem, just plug and play. i was even able to have the laptop grab the music off of a NAS, that was wired to the router, but again the laptop was wifi. compare that to slim stuff, which basically can't do more than one wifi hop period, usually the router to the device. now, like the OP i hate mac/apple stuff, i get it when he says its in the genes. but a lot of people in my family like the stuff, and it does do some things well, that slim does not match. to all the people saying this stuff is no muss, no fuss, i say take it to someone who is NOT into computers, and watch them try to set it up from scratch, without your help, and then compare that to someone doing the same with apple. it just isn't the same, its silly to try to say it is. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 & xp pro sp3 ie9 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88215 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
