If I were an investor in Slim, I'd be asking serious questions about how development resources are being allocated. -- FatElvis2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FatElvis2000's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6725 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31935 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
