And that is the reality of the situation and always will be. That's why Logitech dumped it, that's why we're a disregarded blip on the BBC's radar. We're a small group of techies, to a greater or smaller degree, who combine interests in music, HiFi, and IT. We are not representative of the big wide world but we know what we want in our homes/offices/dens and we've found a way to achieve it. Some of us, you Owen, myself and others, have taken it upon ourselves to preach the gospel to friends, colleagues and family who are completely NON-techie. We helped them get started knowing the difficulties and we've taken it upon ourselves to continue helping them as best we can. The BBC has just made that job a helluva lot harder and, as you may have noticed, I have been quite outspoken about that. But you have to face up to the fact that we are a minority "sect" with some dedicated volunteers who have made Squeezebox into a much better media streaming system than it ever was under Logitech, and the only system weathering the current storm with any aplomb. So you have to decide - do you continue with your unofficial obligations to your colleagues with a system that works, albeit with regular tweaking to cope with a changing world, or advise them to shift to....well what exactly? Do you see any alternatives around at the moment that will give them what they're now accustomed to and they will involve you with less hassle or expense?? Because your non-techie pals are more "normal" than us, they probably already have lots of iThingies. And that's your solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ChipMonk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40072 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
