No, you are just displaying the same ignorance that prevents you from configuring your firewall correctly. If you can't manage to install Windows on your machine is slimdevices supposed to come over to your house and do that for you too? There are always tradeoffs in life. The fact that Slimserver is an open source software package that runs on PCs has advantages and disadvantages. A disadvantage is that it is not an instant plug in solution for people who are not tech savy. An advantage is that a user like bklaas can make a completely awesome skin for the Nokia 770 and have it incorporated into the system. Or I can make a mame replica arcade machine and also have it serve as a jukebox. If you are unwilling or unable to learn the basic computer skills necessary to enjoy the Squeezebox/Slimserver solution to its fullest you have two options: Pay someone to set it up for you, or spend more money and get a Sonos or a custom system that lack flexibility but are easier to use. -- NWP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NWP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3730 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24528 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
