If you check the archives of the forums, there have been a lot of complaints over the years about the hardware requirements for the server. People want to run it, whether it be squeezecenter, slimserver, squeezeboxserver or whatever it is named, on assorted old crock computers, tiny embedded systems, even the Shiva plug. While I personally think these complaints are misguided, one has to acknowledge that a vocal minority already complaints that the server is too big with too much feature bloat. I've bought three SB1 units, but I would not lose any sleep if some later server stopped supporting them -- as long as the ancient crock server code that did support them was available forever. I won't even complain if "support" is dropped for these ancient versions at some time. The SB1 is prehistoric for a consumer electronic device. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
