When I was in research mode I spent more time rounds these parts. I still drop in every once and a while to keep abreast of new developments and such. I love the Acer netbooks that I am running at the moment. They run as dedicated servers and only turn on as needed. They are so cheap these days that I recommend them to anyone I talk with who asks me about the Squeezebox devices. $500 and done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pneumonic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10091 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95276 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
