Maybe Logitech will provide the geek. Seriously, I don't think this is a recommendation that Logitech will be making to their customers. I think a plug-n-play option running Slimserver under some version of Linux is imperative. I think the average citizen could not care less what a slim, thin, or thick client is - they just want it to work. Why install anything? That was what my sister asked, who is an EXTREMELY gifted engineer, but she was never going to get an SB3 unless I brought it over and got it running for her. The SB3 presently requires a mindset, that most people in the world do not have. Apple understands this sort of thing perfectly well. I love the product, but I am a geek. -Ron -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 -> CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *Main rig:* NAD 7600 + NAD 2600A -> Phase Tech PC-6.5 speakers *Headphone rig:* Headroom Max -> Sennheiser 650s *Music Server:* Nano-ITX computer running SlimCD + 750 GByte HDD -> Netgear wireless router *Other stuff:* NAD C542 CDP, NAD 6300 Tape, Monster 5100 Power conditioner, Outlaw Audio cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36385 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
