Ben, what a legend. I know what a huge part you played in making it all happen. Thank you :) I wish I had not mentioned 'stability'. That's not really what I wanted to convey. It's more general maintenance, for example my wife or young children wanting to buy and add a new album and not having a clue where to start (where to buy, how to download, how to rescan...). Or when a plugin breaks, or the firewall inexplicably plays up... I know none of theses are insurmountable though. As I said, most of my devices are barely used now so I just wanted to swap them out for devices which will get more use and free up some much needed funds. I work away so much and my wife and kids are the main consumers now. I know Apple had its faults and limitations, but I will be a adequate stand in. In fact the airport express (via airplay) is mainly for her and she mainly listens to podcasts and BBC iPlayer (the touch iPlayer app stopped working about a week back for me). Anyway, fingers crossed, but I'm hopefully changing careers next year so I will have more cash spare. I'll move back up the ladder when I can. But for now it's goodbye. The fact that I am writing all this, which I've never done for anything else, is testament to how much pleasure the squeezebox and it's community has brought me. It's like saying good bye to an old friend. aubuti, yes 2005 was a fine year indeed.
