Let's not get stuck in a power adapter discussion.

The SBT have icons for stuff where an icon is obvious but also have the text "DIGITAL" for the digital outputs where people wouldn't know what an icon meant. Theoretically you would probably be fine without icons/texts in the beginning when it's only sold to experienced community members, but it turns out to be as good as you suggest it's going to be spread outside this community and then it's probably useful to have some icons/texts to make it easier for people. If icons/texts is complicated, the alternative is to deliver a paper sketch with the circuit board that explains the outputs. For Gen1, no text/icon is necessary, it's only needed for Gen2 and later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
