Is it too much to expect that when I turn off my SqueezeBox that it will
STAY OFF!!!!   In the middle of the night last night I was very rudely
awoken by a bright green light and I can’t tell you how annoyed I was
when I discovered the cause – a message from Slim Devices on the
SqueezeBox.  Initially I was simply SCARED TO DEATH because it’s just
plain SPOOKY that this happened, and just plain ANNOYING to realize
that this could happen.  It’s a complete violation of my rights and
privacy for Slim Devices to come into my house, remotely, in the middle
of the night, and to deliberately WAKE ME UP, just to tell me that…their
damn server is down for maintenance!   This is the stuff of lawsuits.
For God’s sake, I couldn’t even turn it off with the remote! I had to
unplug it from the back!   Flashing a message to units that are already
turned on that the server is down is one thing, but this is ridiculous! 
A discrete email would have been sufficient, but even that isn’t really
necessary.  But to wake me in the middle of the night!  Listen, if I win
the lottery – don’t wake me in the middle of the night to tell me!   If
my mom dies – don’t wake me in the middle of the night to tell me!   
If New York is destroyed by terrorists – don’t wake me in the middle of
the night to tell me!   If you’re doing maintenance on your equipment –
don’t freakin wake me in the middle of the night to tell me!!!!!   Did
anybody else experience this nightmare last night, or just me?  So what
am I supposed to do, unplug the thing before I go to bed every night?  I
can’t simply move it because it’s in a great place, close to the
computer and I can see the display from bed, which, until now, had been
a GOOOD idea.  Maybe...I should return it and get the new Nokia N800
instead, which has the same EXACT form factor, is even a bit smaller,
receives internet radio WIRELESSLY, has an alarm clock feature with
snooze, let's me surf the web, AND has 2 built in speakers!  I'll bet
THEY won't be waking me in the middle of the night!!!  Are you reading
this, SLIM DEVICES?  Take notice!
