Going to myself, I believe most answers will reflect the reasons what we enjoy with SB. When (or if) I would recommend it to someone else, the reasons I would refer to would very much depend on who that person would be. For my nieces, the access to Spotify would make the Touch interesting, for my cousins wife the access to radio stations from her home country would make the Radio viable, for my colleague with an interest in obscure death metal it would be niche radio stations, for another colleague with an enormous CD collection it would be possibility to efficiently browse the collection, possibly adied by clever plugins. Then there's a lot of people for whom I don't think it would be a good solution at all. Possibly it would have been more interesting with a poll about our reasons for not recommending an SB product. I'm not sure it's as simple as saying that people with little interest or knowledge in computers would be unable to have a pleasant SB experience. In my experience it's often the more enthusiastic and knowledgeable computer users (tinkerers basically) who tend to run in to the most difficult problems. Sometimes due to more complex network setups, sometimes due to more software conflicts. People with little interest in computers often have more or less plain vanilla systems and generally don't mess with them which mostly keeps them out of trouble, -- alfista ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alfista's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88915 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
