No one said that this was impossible, or even hard, or that SD was incapable of producing such a thing. Indeed, there are species like what you describe in the wild <www.olive.us>. Like Robin & radish said, it is a huge departure from the current engineering, and is close to starting over from scratch. I can imagine that it could have more mass market appeal than the current server + slim client architecture, although the significant price bump (associated with putting the server functions in the SB) would likely dampen that appeal.
Personally, I don't see the value in making SB more expensive so that you can either add a noisy external HDD or a puny USB/SD drive. But maybe someone else does, so more power to them. But ezkcdude, you still haven't addressed the simple question: do you propose the server functions (hardware & software) go in the SB or in the USB/SD device? And in that spirit, here's one way to do the completely wireless SB that I (jokingly) proposed. Lose the cables to the amp <http://www.speakerworks.net/wireless.html> and the power cord to the mains <http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_274.html>. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30399 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
