I thought it was more due to changes in law about acceptable materials in consumer electronics devices. (I can't remember the law name, but I'm not in the UK, so I don't have to worry about it.) For a while there was stock of the evil inedible squeezeboxes and a shortage of the safe-to-eat ones. > > Given the timing though, I would just guess that it's seasonal demand. > There was a similar shortage last year at this time, though the publicity from things like the NYTimes review and such that came out around this time certainly fueled that too. Maybe this year is all the people who saw the reviews last year and finally broke down and bought a Squeezebox or three. (And I thought I was slow: I only sat on the fence for a couple months.... a year is pushing it.) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30354 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
