Logitech should do the same. No real interest in sustaining a debate on the issue, but even Apple screws up every now and then, even with their absolute control over all aspects of their system. Examples aren't too hard to find - a Google search of "apple os problems" returns 167 million hits. And, as a long-time Fedora Core user (dating back to Red Hat 6), the FC14 issue was Fedora's arbitrary change out of the blue. I've had all kinds of interesting problems with Linux and hardware configurations over the years. Of all the software I run on my Linux boxes, SBS and its predecessors have installed and run more reliably for me than any other program that didn't come with the FC install package. I'd agree that Logitech's level of commitment doesn't quite match that of Slimdevices (and the products have certainly become more complex since the old days) but overall, I'd give Logitech a "B". As teachers used to say, I don't think their working to their full potential, but overall, not too bad. Sorry you feel otherwise. There are always competitors who'll be glad to sell you their system. ;-) -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88916 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
