You know what? I don't even care.
It's innevitable -- there *will* be competing devices. There may come easier to use or better engineered devices. But the SqueezeBox works for me and I'm happy with it, and more importantly, with Slim Devices, as a company. Try getting some personal attention from Cisco/Linksys. I doubt they have the time or resources to give an airborne act of copulation about you. At one time, there was something called brand loyalty. Companies often sit on their laurels (or worse), and abuse that loyalty, but at least at this point, if there was ever a company that was earning its brand loyatly, it's Slim. The American consumer needs to rediscover the notion that when you buy something, you're not just buying a product at the lowest price, or that's easiest to get, or whatever; you're buying a product from *someone*. -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21466 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
