First off, I'm not Dude. 2nd I'm sorry to insult you. I didn't know that you bought one after you reviewed it. That makes a difference. Funny that you have found that it plays ok music. You are good at making everyone feel sorry for you and thats the sign of good pr. I have nothing against you except that I've just found you in so many places putting down the squeezebox. Now I can't go into all of them and you know that but you also know the place you have done this. I really am just curious why? Did they not give you one to review? Not hire you? This is a good place and I'm protective of people getting set up again, and if you are for real this time then I do apologize. And if you want to get the Mrs. I'll sure take a look. :) -- Nonreality *-If the rule you followed brought you to this, what good is the rule.-* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47333 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
