Of these things - Have time, have curiousity about the device, have knowledge, don't have money,
I think at least three of the four need to apply before it makes sense to try one of these plug units. Otherwise, why bother? You can easily find cheap nettops with Windows that'll run all month for less than the price of a beer, depending on your electricity rates. For some, it's less than the price of a coffee. How much cheaper than that does it need to be? mortslim, you've been a longtime devotee of the streaming music services. Most people share your view, while a smaller group thinks of them as nothing more than today's version of Muzak. To the second group, these sites provide low quality background music, hopefully inoffensively, not suitable for serious listening. I'm in that second group, and I'll always continue to buy CDs to add to the collection I listen to daily. I think one of the problems with SB's business model was that the system seems to have been originally designed for people like me, but there are far many people like you. The linux thing is peripheral, you obviously can use the products with any OS you want. But the world wants plug and play, that's where the market opportunity is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96352 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
