First off, I love my Squeezebox and SqueezeCenter to death (so long as I haven't done something to break 'em) But... I'm a geek. I've written drivers and firmware and applications - so the fact that I find installation dead easy means, well, nothing.
We've been getting more-than-occasional posts on the forums with fairly inflammatory titles. I read that as average-Joes pissed off that something isn't "just working" for them. IMHO, the problem here is that they blame the product - and then tell their friends (you know, that old saw about if you like something you tell a friend, if you hate it you tell everyone you know). I'm sure that SD and Logitech see this as a problem, but we have a group of very smart people here, who, so long as they remember that the rest of the world isn't necessarily as technically adept as they are, may actually have a brilliant idea or two as to what to do. So... all that said, and, just to start: It seems to me that maybe SD had ought to think about having some kind of "installer certification" , including training and testing - and a way for those certified installers to get "published" - maybe here on SD. I'd guess that'd help the "loves music, has money, but technically clueless" part of the market. (Note - I'm not saying that this is a brilliant idea - but it might help you think of one). Or is this kind of thread a really dumb idea? (self-doubt creeps in... guess I'd have tried product marketing if I didn't have that problem :-) ) -- bobkoure ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43491 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
