Well done sherington. Nice story. Its great to hear that your Pa is listening to his music via the SB3. When a person is willing to learn, nice things can happen. My wife is a technophobe of the first order. She used to love her various Nokia phones - 6310s etc because they were so easy to use. She was very much reluctant to move to her HTC Desire even though she knew from the kids that it would work for her. Now she's emailing, googling, bopping photos all over the shop, using Viber, Whatsapp and loads of handy programs. She uses the Squeezebox Boom and has a series of favorites (ripped CDs, radio stations etc.) that she likes. She has no interest in messing with Squeezecentre or that sort of thing. No problem. I do. But if I didn't she would be perfectly happy with the use she gets out of the Boom. The Slim/Squeeze series of products is useful, and as easy or difficult or as esoteric to use as a person chooses to make them. That to me is what makes them great. They work. The Squeezebox Classic is a work of art - a beautiful pretty thing that allowed music a new way out of the box. -- kesey Squeezebox Classic:2; Duet: 1; Boom:1; Touch:1 Server: SheevaPlug Debian Squeeze 4GB SDCard, Squeezepad, iPeng, iPeng for Ipad : "a pint of plain is your only man", Squeezeboxserver/LMS 7.7- latest nightly ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kesey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91532 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
