I am the proud, if somewhat cash-trapped, father of three kids, two of whom are teenagers. My 18-year old son uses SoftSqueeze on his PC to listen to Pandora and Rhapsody Direct. When his buddies are over, they'll happily do the same with the Squeezebox in the family room/home theatre. He's not a techie at all (his preference runs to football, lacrosse, and blondes). He'll just take the computer/SoftSqueeze setup off to college in the Fall. My 16-yr old daughter, when she's not sulking in her room with headphones on, will listen to the local country music radio station streamed via her computer. She's got no interest at all in the Squeezebox, which is good because her taste in music isn't shared with the rest of the family. The 5-year old is a gearhead-in-training. He's got using Harmony remotes down cold, and would be fine with the SB3 if he could read! He's always asking how things work, so I have a feeling he'll be the one most into the whole setup. My wife loves the SB3 and wants one in every room. I'm not installing speakers/amps every where, so she's out of luck. I did what I always do with technology I bring home; I set it up and told absolutely no one how it works. It's a really good litmus test to see what they figure out and what the don't ask me to take out. -- JimC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34495 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
