I got a link sent to me by logitech support to
http://slimdevices.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/slimdevices.cfg/php/enduser/acct_login.php?p_next_page=myprofile.php
But I can't stay at that page, it immediately redirects to the
worthless (to me) www.logitechsqueezebox.com site. Any ideas?

Hi there,
I am sure you are onto it, but linking to and fro the secure area
(purchasing) causes all kinds of weird things, obviously related to
re-directions. I am sure it will settle down but just a heads up if that
didn't yet make it to the whiteboard down in the web design dungeon.

Both. It's so prominent it invites confusion about what exactly is

As for Aerosmith, they were a so-so band back in the 70s

Typo... on the overview page, in the product table against the
Transporter...
-You are an audiophile. You are happiest when listening to a high
fidelity recording of *you* favorite artist through your high- end

I'm also not keen on the bias towards the Duet as a first purchase,
I have to agree that the Classic is the ideal intro-model. Pushing
people towards a Duet is asking for trouble.
Also - aren't Transporters branded Transporter now, not Slim Devices?

as someone said earlier, VIDEOS, lots of them, and embed them, (maybe

and imo, the very first thing to cover is that the device works via

Seems harder to find the plugins page. Unless I missed it, you have to
access one of the pages that still has the old menu system, like the

Hi,

I think it's a good thing to refresh the home page and refocus the

names are more inviting - longer ones can be a put-off.
2. I find the graphic under How
