It's a bummer the SB line has been dropped, but I'm not planning to jump ship and try some other product anytime soon. My various SBs still work, and I expect them to continue working for a long time to come. The hardware seems sound enough, and until it begins to break down and fail, I should have no problems. I'm mildly concerned about losing some Internet functionality one day (particularly Pandora and Sirius/XM) but since 95% of my listening is from my own collection via my local LMS server, I will still have that for the foreseeable future. With the money I've invested in SB devices, I can't see any reason to abandon them; I expect to get many more years of service out of them.
I have a commercial freezer in my garage that is nearly 30 years old. It has never failed, and never had any problems; it still works great. I doubt that particular model has been made for many years. But as long as it keeps working, I have no need to buy a new one, and I don't care whether it's been discontinued by the manufacturer. I'll use it as long as it keeps running. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dogberry2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18883 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
