I have to reluctantly agree with this. I work in IT (well, web management in an IT dept of a University) and have a home network with a Mac and PC, and guest laptops, and a big NAS. My SB3 was running within 5 minutes, and I knew about ripping and file formats (though not FLAC :0). Had I not had my previous knowledge, a wireless router - not just an internet providers ADSL modem - the setup and bits I'd have needed would have been quite daunting to contemplate. Those of us with the knowledge, who've seen the future should not expect too much of those who just love music played as simply as possible. -- morris_minor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ morris_minor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39438 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
