CSOS is something special.  The easy to use Web Interface belies the
engine which purrs beneath the surface.  A Rolls-Royce engine that's
fine tuned to the hardware (Wandboard, Cubietruck, BBB?).  Where else
will you find kernels patched to deal with the hardware quirks and so
optimise the performance of your Arm board?  Let, alone the fully
optimised base packages.  Where else will you find a  BBB doing 
upsampling at 384K, a Cubietruck SPDIF not limited to 16bit, etc. etc.
etc. ?   None of this grows on trees. It takes skill, knowledge,
dedication and persistence to develop. 

I'm as guilty as the next person of taking the software I use on a daily
basis for granted. Never giving a second to thought to the human
endeavour that's brought it into existence.  Like the old saying, you
never miss it until it's gone.  

And now sadly JackOfAll has played the  last post ...  That's made me
fell very gloomy.
