Long time user here. I love the Squeezebox products I have. My oldest son is an avid Squeezebox user. (thanks to Dad showing him the way) :)
I could be described as a fanboy. (really an old fanman) :) As I read this thread I find myself saying "I miss Sean Adams." Maybe Sean saw the audio/video convergence that was coming. Maybe he just wanted to do something else. All I know is that I miss the close connection between product and company. Knowing that the company CEO not only was intimately involved with the product but also took a genuine interest in the end-users. What we have now is a big corporation acting like big corporations do.( perhaps it is unavoidable)My only comfort is that some of the good people that worked with Sean Adams (like Andy) are still involved in the product line. I am not at all confident that Logitech will do well by us in the future. I hope so, but deep down I have my doubts. I can only hope my classic and boom last for a long, long, long time. I don't want one appliance that does everything. When a product says it can do everything it means it does some things well and other things well enough to get you to buy in. I would rather own individual products that do one or a few things well. My Squeezebox classic does audio well. My boom does audio well. It has NEVER missed an alarm. (and we use it every day) Granted I have a 24/7 media server. I am a fanboy because I am very satisfied with the products I own. They are not perfect but they do what I want them to do 99% of the time. The other 1% can, at times, be frustrating but then so can that 1% of anything that doesn't do what I want it to when I want it to. (like my wife of 32 years) :) Bruce -- brucegrr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ brucegrr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3964 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82804 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
