i'm simply stating that an optional button during setup wouldn't melt an idiots, or noobs, mind or computer.
goodsounds, when i first got slim stuff there was NO real concern that i could see from slim or the community towards noobs and KISS customers. i constantly was trying to say this was a wrong headed approach, that they should listen to what i had to say as i was representative of that kind of customer at first. now, in a relatively short time since logitech bought them, it now seems to be going 100% the other way. now as mherger has said, 'we need to make this stuff not just noob proof, but essentially idiot proof, and nothing less than the most totally austere presentation will do.' well, i think thats wrongheaded too. i don't mind slim gearing this thing to power users or noobs. either way is fine with me. what i do mind is being so extreme about it. it IS reasonable to have options, even complex ones. look at winamp, a program that in many ways is FAR more complex, yet it is very successful even with noobs. it IS reasonable to present ONE button for power users to access options during setup, esp since you can control how its presented and since the user will have access to those options anyway POST setup, regardless of how dumb they are. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.3b - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53406 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
