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.

Jim -  was this really necessary to direct at me? 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.
