Thanks for letting me know what you think. As a user of Slim Devices for almost five years now, I too, was letting you know what I think. For a lot of years, people have been asking - myself included - for a no display, low cost Squeezebox. From the initial press release of the Duet, I thought this came true. But after using this forum, I realized that Logitech left out one part - the ability to configure the SBR without the SBC. That's too bad, because my wish - and probably many others - then didn't come true. Many of us have been using Squeeze products before Logitech bought Slim. Many of us remember the one-on-one emails with developers and tech support, and personal communication with Sean Adams. It's easy to wave "communities" and "open source" and probably even a good thing to do so. But even some of your most ardent fans can also be some of your most ardent critics. I hope Logitech sees the strength in all this. My hat'll be off to Robin for delivering a plugin that will allow one to enjoy the Squeeze experience for an entry price of $149.

I never used the word "fanboy" in any of my communique, and I don't think I ever digressed into anything remotely "personal" or negative for that matter. Quite disappointing to read from someone in your position. -- djfake --- www.itjerk.com www.progressiverock.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ djfake's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8111 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
