Agreed 100%. I recently used a Sonos setup and found the only thing I really liked better about it was the desktop UI. The downside is, of course, that you have to have MacOS or Windows to use it (although I suspect it'd run under Linux with WINE). My employer put a PowerBook in my hands, so I used that. The Slimserver html interface seems to be the common (and only) complaint I hear when I talk to other SB owners. I definitely agree that it is holding the product back. Web apps can be done well without sacrificing too much in the way of portability. Google Maps and the new Yahoo! Mail are good examples. A lot of SB owners, myself included, simply avoid using the slimserver interface as much as possible, which is kind of sad considering what a great product the SB is. -- rudholm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rudholm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22477 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
