You would be amazed at how many "smart people" use installation services to come out and hook their hi-fi and video gear up for them. I've met some brilliant people (surgeons, etc) who are absolutely baffled when it comes to technology. It's of course improbable to make the Squeezebox and Slimserver "idiot proof" but certainly it can be further simplified to make it easier for non-techies to set it up successfully. To start with Slim really should build a native Windows API to control the server and players for the techno-illiterati of the world who find configuration via web browser far too confusing. -- jmpage2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21126 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
