Its not that you leave a computer on 24/7 in order to have a reliable alarm clock, its that typical use of a computer could (nay, even should) contemplate 24/7 hour use of that computer. So the alarm clock is then just a bonus you get on top of that. I had my computer on 24/7 before I had any squeezebox product. So no change in behavior here. I am stunned at the apparent stubborn unwillingness of many here to spend a relatively small amount of money towards electrical costs (which would be many times less than a squeezebox over the course of a year), in order to have the convenience of on the demand Internet access, not to mention no worries over having to use the less worthy mysqueezebox.com . Why do we have fios and cable at blazing speeds if we don't leave computers hooked up to it 24/7? Who wants to wait for boot up time every morning? And by the way, do we know exactly what 7.4.2 fixes -- the bug fix list for 7.4.2 says nothing about alarms last I looked a couple of hours ago? -- eap ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eap's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32788 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75541 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
