People don't read any more, they skim (sadly, myself included) An interesting article this month in the Atlantic about what the internet is doing to our brains. http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200807/google The funny thing is that I bet more than half the people that browse to that article will then only skim it. AFAIK, there is documentation, in the form of a "Quick Start Guide", included with a packaged Duet. cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas Logitech Developer: Squeezeplay/SqueezeOS/SqueezeboxController/SqueezeCenter Community Developer: Nokia770Skin http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ 'KHAAAN!'
