Indeed, off isn't really "off"--it's just another state that has its own array of settings (different brightness settings, different screensaver settings, and different playback settings--i.e.: paused). I think it's just to make people feel good because we're used to turning things off when we're not using them. I like it. I'm still used to the "off" paradigm and were it not there I imagine a lot of time would be wasted explaining to people why there's no power button. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30949 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
