Re: [slim] Community Funded Squeezebox Replacement - Would you be interested?

2013-03-18 Thread w7r

Still following this exciting thread with great interest. Given the
progress that has been made in what seems a very short space of time i'm
now thinking about taking the plunge and buying the Wandboard (although
my wife won't approve of yet another "gadget") as this looks like it
really is going to take off given a). the wonderful level of commitment
shown by those that have the skills to make this possible and, b). the
level of interest that has been expressed by those that can't really
help on the technical side but are eager to get their hands on the
fruits of JS & Co's labour. I guess all I wanted to say was thanks for
your efforts so far guys and count me in when one of these boards
becomes available to purchase - i'll be right at the front of the
queue!

Re: [slim] Updating Squeezebox Radio to Smart Radio

2013-02-04 Thread w7r

I'm sorry but there's no way I'll go this route - I've LMS, an SB radio
and a couple of receivers all working beautifully, I was after a Touch
but given Logitechs actions I've bought my last ever Logitech product,
no more mice, keyboards etc, we had a Logitech reseller trying to push
the products into the company I work for but I spoke with our purchasing
exec and put her off the idea. All done and dusted - they lost my custom
the day they dropped the SB platform. As you can probably tell I'm still
pretty mad about it - dumb, dumb decision made by some clown who really
has no idea what they had.

Guys, I'm very happy to have found this thread, and I'm with Guido F. on
