I first heard of SlimDevices from a Slashdot article about Sean building the first units in his garage. The old website and photos are available through the Way Back Machine (http://web.archive.org/web/20010922131911/http://www.slimdevices.com/). Thats back in September 2001, and wanted a SliMP3 ever since.
I'd been a mailing list subscriber for years before buying nay equipment, I remember I used to read all the CVS checkins to see what new cool features were being worked on. I could never justify the cost though, but ever iteration of the hardware got more and more exciting. The SB2 I thought was killer. Full software decoder, decent DAC, full 802.11g, sounded just the device for me. I think I was just about to buy a SB2 when the SB3 was released. I can't remember if i was a forum member by that point of still on the mailing lists (i think it was still the lists) and found out about the SB3 through checkins for new graphics that appeared just before the announcement. After that it was pretty inevitable, I wanted one of these things pretty bad. Got a deal from a re-seller for two so ended up with one in the living room and one in the bedroom. The bedroom unit is still where it's been since, connected to a set of HarmonKardon SoundStick IIs. The Livingroom unit took a brief break when I was sent a Reciever for being part of the Controller beta testing, I missed the screen though. It's now been replaced permenantly by the Boom, which I totally love. That SB3 is now at my parents place though so still going. I've also bought a SliMP3 and a silver SB2, would quite like a SB1 and SB1G (and of course a transporter) to round of my collection though :) -- funkstar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53831 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
