Last night, I dreamt I worked for Slim, and had been assigned to respond to three posts on the forums. The posts went something like those listed below. When I woke up, I realized that working for Slim must require a great deal of patience and restraint. So I say thanks to all the patient and thoughtful folk at Slim for their efforts, and their forbearance, and I hope they never actually see posts like these:
1) I AM SO TICKED OFF!!!! I CAN'T MAKE THIS THING WORK!!!! SUPPORT IS NOT LISTENING TO ME AND WON'T FIX MY PROBLEM!!!! I CALLED THEM AND YELLED AT THEM AND THEY TOLD ME TO TRY SOMETHING BUT I KNOW THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM SO I'M CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO DO WHAT THEY'RE TELLING ME!!!!!! YOU CALL THIS TECHNICAL SUPPORT!?!?! I AM SO TICKED OFF, AND TO PROVE IT, I GOT IN A FRESH SHIPMENT OF EXCLAMATION MARKS AND I'M GOING TO KEEP USING THEM UNTIL MY PROBLEM IS SOLVED!!!!!!!!! I ALSO REFUSE TO TURN OFF MY CAPS LOCK!! BUT THIS STUPID THING STILL DOESN'T WORK, SO I'M VERY TICKED OFF, SO THERE!!!!! AND DON'T EVEN TELL ME IT'S MY NETWORK BECAUSE MY NETWORK IS PERFECT AND I KNOW IT'S NOT MY NETWORK!!!!!! I PAID FOR THIS THING AND I CAN'T MAKE IT WORK AND IT'S NOT MY FAULT SO I'M VERY TICKED OFF!!!! 2) My SBR works okay but I don't like the menu layout on the SBC and I don't see why it can't be completely redesigned so that it looks the way I want it to. I want my favorite radio station from the Republic of Chad to be right at the top, and I want my albums sorted according to the age of the performer (at the time of the recording), then by the lead singer's vocal range (alto, soprano, contralto, tenor, bass, etc.), and I want the album cover art to be chroma negative (it looks cooler that way) and I want the controller to come in different colors so I can have fuschia in the solarium and caramel in the den. I want to run it from my cell phone and my TV remote and I also think it would be cool if it came on and started playing my top 10 favorites when I hit my garage door remote from my car so it's already playing when I walk in the house. I want the battery to last at least a month and I don't see why they can't make it do that because I mean my watch battery has lasted two years already. Come to think of it, I'd like to be able to control it from my wristwatch. And another cool feature would be if it would automatically turn the volume down when my doorbell rings. But this would have to be configurable. 3) I think Logitech should get on the greenwagon and start designing electronic gear that doesn't need so much electricity because after all we have to save the planet. I'm sitting here typing on a computer with a 24-inch monitor in my climate-controlled house with central air, central heat, hot running water, a refrigerator, a commercial freezer, two microwave ovens, five TVs (including a 90-inch plasma), three DVD/BLU-Ray players, four computers, 8TB of disk storage, a big home theater system, and six different video game boxes, but I notice that my SBC cradle uses a whopping .001 milliwatts of power when the controller isn't even in it! I don't really know just what a watt is, but still, that seems like an awful lot. Why does it waste so much power? Doesn't anybody care about saving the planet? I think it could be made greener. I never studied physics or electronics, don't have an engineering degree, have absolutely no knowledge of nor experience in the field of electronics engineering, but I'm ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the recharging cradle could be designed better if the Logitech people would just think green. Let's focus on the tiny, minuscule, infinitesimal, little things, people, so we can save the planet! Get on the green stick, Logitech! Now I'm going to go turn the oven on to preheat so I can make some pizza rolls. -- Dogberry2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dogberry2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56600 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
