Yes, I realize all that. But when menu options disappear, reappear, and change behavior without explanation, I then wonder if something is broken. More explicit documentation would help. The other reason it matters is that I'm a geek (professionally & privately), so I like to understand how these things work. (As a s/w professional, one thing I try to keep in mind is "What happens if the customer hits this in the middle of the night. Do I want the SE calling me at 3AM?" . I'm not expecting that level of support for a $300 product, btw, but if the Slim folks don't have to waste their time answering questions that wouldn't be asked if the info had been in the docs, then they'll have more time to keep producing all this really cool stuff.) Thanks for the info! -- jmx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10536 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44251 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
