It's not about being an exclusive club. It's about a guy dropping in out of the blue and basically implying that the Slim guys have their heads up their ass because they haven't come up with what *he* sees as the essential feature sets. I am not saying he's wrong or right. What I am saying is that a bundled package would increase the cost of a Slim device in a non-trivial way. And does the increase in price drive away more customers than the features attract? I don't know, and he doesn't know either. And this, from a business standpoint, (which he claims to represent with his many years of business experience) is a HUGE no-no. If people want to sit in the forums and pull ideas out if their ass, they're quite welcome to. But this guy acts like no one at Slim has ever done any market research or cost analysis on their own products. So if he wants to come back and start a thread like "How can we help new users get their CDs ripped easier?", I'd be happy to have a dialogue with him. Until then, he's just blowing hot air. -- Victor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Victor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2181 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25462 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
