I think these are very good points too - Logitech did a lot of good for the squeezebox. Not only did they put the squeezebox on the shelf in local retailers, they put it in the general marketplace where pricing wasn't fixed and bargins could be found via promotions and coupons. My fear is that the squeezebox lineup falls victim of some massive cost cutting initiative within Logitech to boost the bottom line. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch, SqueezeCommander on Xoom.
