totally agree! i believe had the first SB used a native audio driver for windows, that would have been huge. and it never "just worked" for me. in fact, i blame it for killing several HDs before i realized there was some kind of conflict between Server and windows defender, and thats just one of many issues i had. i consider my whole exp with this stuff to be an education, but its not something i think has much of a future or much appeal to anyone else these days. using: win7 64 + lms 7.9 & duet & ipads w/the logitech app, and ipeng on an ipod ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BJW's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58242 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104431 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
