I have. SlimServer ain't Vista or OS/360. It's a project with two or three full time developers and a handful of part-timers. Adding a couple of full time in-house software engineers to that total would do wonders. There are obviously things going on right now at the former Slim Devices to which we aren't privvy. Hell, maybe they've already made the decision to abandon SlimServer as it now stands and are feverishly working on a proprietary Windows-only package being outsourced to a coding sweatshop in Russia or India. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32904 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
