I've read the 27 pages(probably 28 by the time I post this) of the hand-wringing, grousing, congrats, and various 'special interest' concerns about the Logitech acquisition, and am, for the most part, amused. I suppose that, because of my age, I see things a bit differently and prefer to look at this in a larger context. I think its important to remind, or introduce for the first time, a few concepts and facts that germane to the discussion.
1. Change is inevitable. Live it, or live with it. 2. SD has, up to this point, introduced products that are a real value to those of us who enjoy listening to high quality music reproduction. No one is going to confiscate it or charge you anything more for continuing to use it. It stands as a testament to the management team of SD as a benchmark of the way companies should conduct any kind of business. Sean and company deserve every accolade and monetary benefit they've been able to garner. If SD were to cease to exist tomorrow, we'd still enjoy the fruits of their labors. Their contribution to the enjoyment of music , IMHO, is as great as the CD itself. 3. Call me naive, but the evidence exists that Logitec will let SD continue to operate as it has until such time that it ceases to grow in the manor it has in the past. The ball is in SD's court to continue to innovate and develop products and services that retain old customers and attract new ones. Why would Logitec mess with this proven track record? It would be against their shareholders best interest. Observations that SD is swirling the drain are premature. If Logitech's objective were to kill SD, then you wouldn't be reading this post. I look forward to the day, in 5 years, when I'll have a SB6 in my shirt pocket. A flash based 2 terabyte device that uses QUAC( quantum universal audio codec) files, controlled by a Harmony fob, in my pants pocket, and viewable on the Logitech MONacle( media optical nexus), available in prescription at extra cost, and streams HD audio, and video if you choose, to any wifi enabled audio, or HT, system within 50ft. ;)))! -- konut ------------------------------------------------------------------------ konut's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1596 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
