I also like to keep backups of everything I use, so I can recreate an environment without needing to depend on things still existing on the internet in the future. Too many times I have found sites/authors disappearing (not SqueezeCenter things, but you never can tell!). Maybe this would be different if all third-party plugins were hosted in a single repository somewhere that is likely to stay around forever. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
