Hi Mark, UPS just dropped off a new controller at my door - glad I was home! Unless they are going to pull their trick of sending me an invoice later, I haven't been dinged with any taxes or duties. I notice the pins on the bottom of the controller have been covered over - what's up with that? And of course, now I'm short a battery and a charger! Wonder when I'll be able to acquire these? -- nicketynick Wireless SB3, Denon DRA-F101, Mission M31 loudspeakers WinXP SP2 Slimserver, SMC WBR14g router http://www.last.fm/user/nicketynick/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicketynick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1511 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43239 _______________________________________________ jive mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/jive
