You're probably right,Gary. I definitely respect your opinion. The "2 year and then throw it away" part is hard for me to understand. It's true,IMO, that hardware becomes outdated in a short time (2 years), but the hardware is still functional for an indefinite period of time. I have computers over ten or more years old that are functional though lacking some newer features. Cellular phones still function after many years. My expectation of a product that is purchased, especially an audio device, is that it will be functional for an extended period of time. I believe that intentionally terminating the functionality of a purchased product is uncharted territory. I do believe that LOGITECH will stand by us. Time will tell. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ikabob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32088 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96999 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
