I have not found this to be the case. I recently showed by SqueezeBox to some friends who while computer professionals, are mainframe folks and have spent the past 25+ years in management. They know how to use Word and Outlook. They are not PC geeks by any measure. Smart, talented, and good looking, sure, but all owners of SqueezeBoxen fall into that category. I lent them a SqueezeBox and they did everything. They had some problems getting album art to work, but otherwise it was easy, and they bought a SB/3 I will grant that it could be easier, but a fair amount of what I love about it is fundamentally incompatible with the shrink-wrap mass market mentality. Frequent releases and massive cross platform support are just not viable without mega dollars for testing, documentation, and tech support. Perhaps Logitech wants to go there, but I never see a SqueezeBox being as easy to use as a Logitech mouse. I've bought several SqueezeBoxen, a Transporter and many LogiTech mice. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
