That's nothing. I invented the SliMP3/SqueezeBox over in 2001. I was just waiting for the Slim Devices guys to get the implementation started: "I guess my ideal device would just play network streams that were sent to it via ethernet. Ethernet in, line out. The software on the computer would handle everything else. OK, maybe add a display that can be controlled from the network as well as a IR receiver that can send command codes back. All intelligence would reside in the (Linux) server." http://groups.google.com/group/comp.home.automation/msg/b99c1b2d71ec5f27?hl=en&; "I'm just waiting until someone with the means gets the same idea and builds something affordable." I got one of the first SliMP3's when they became available. They could have been a little more affordable though. But in general they carried out my ideas pretty well. ;) Peter. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
