In general it has seemed to me that most MMPC solutions in general are rather half baked at this time. Certainly if you've got thousands to throw at building a state of the art multimedia PC solution complete with multiple HD tuners, etc, etc, then you can get something that is pretty decent. And in reality it won't be a whole lot better than what something like the HD-1000 does out of the box. I would think that Slim could release something pretty impressive in the $500 range that would blow the community away, but they might have to move away from Perl to do it, and right now the market might not support it. -- jmpage2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17185 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
