Hard to believe it's been 9 years since a Web search (altavista.com?) for MP3 + computer + stereo led me to my first SliMP3. It can't be said strongly or often enough, Sean. Your products enrich my family's life daily. You should be particularly proud that, even after 9 years, no adequate substitutes exist. Where else am I going to find a discrete attractive unit providing an across-the-room weather, time and callerID display, IR repeater, radio and music library, let alone one that provides almost limitless customization of each of these functions?

Re: [slim] I am leaving Logitech!
Like most people, Squeezeboxes changed my life: removing the rote task of swapping CDs and making The Giant Jukebox wishlist I had a million years ago not only feasible, but practical. A nice clean UI, tons of enhancements from the community, and it is still the best-valued consumer electronics device I have ever had the pleasure to use.

Re: [slim] I am leaving Logitech!
Sean, Sorry to see you go. There are very few (no?) other firms where the founder took the time and effort to reply to questions on a web forum. This set the tone for the 'slim' approach, which has built up such a loyal following. It was your no-nonsense answers to a number of frankly daft audiophile questions that persuaded me to buy a transporter. I hope that logitech streaming media manage to hang on to the ethos and open approach that you fostered. I wish you well.
