Okay, one more, and then this -really- is my last comment. I guess my final advice would be, “Give the company a chance.” It was not a hostile takeover. Sean willingly sold the company for a sum of money that maybe he could have retired on. He probably could have just hit the road. Same with Dean and others.
But they didn't. They're both still there. Now, if they had hit the road, it would have been easy to believe that they really never believed in their own products to begin with. They were simply building loyalty amongst a niche of gullible audiophiles, and then biding their time until they could cash out. The fact that they are still there speaks of some commitment on their part to cultivate and maintain the products they created. It seems to me a primary marketing tool for the Squeezebox has always been word of mouth. I've read many, many posts wherein people testify as to how they led their friends to buy SBs. What are you going to tell your friends? "A couple of months ago, I would have recommended a Squeezebox to you, but now it has this really crappy logo on it, so I would steer clear." Furthermore, is it the proclamation of the naysayers here that Logitech, the company, being constrained by its product line, has no business selling high-end audio gear? "What's this!?! This isn't a mouse! Get back in your workshop and make a MOUSE!!!" God forbid that any business entity (or human, for that matter) has the gall to think that they can produce something superior tomorrow, to what they produced today. -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ~~~ SB3 (wired - 6.3.1) | Home-brew PC running XP Pro | DENON DRA-395 | PSB Stratus Bronze (2) | Outlaw Audio LFM-2 (1) | DIY Speaker Cables | Dayton Audio Interconnects ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35899 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
