maybe it just should. I feel compelled to comment as a pretty casual observer. bulk of this is just electronic misunderstanding. If folks were talking face to face or even just talking on the phone, this all would have been a non-event. Maybe the simple "smiley face" would have prevented the misunderstanding, maybe not. Interesting how no one from Slim chimed in. They know they have a good thing going with all these unpaid yet very passionate engineers developing SW and in some cases even HW for them.... :o)
For the record, I love my squeezebox and despite its non-idiot proof setup and usage, I talk it up to all my friends. I have paid the price with my own time being used to help friends get their SB going. So, I also am an unpaid consultant! However, as I posted many months ago, I think the main reason Slim does not market the product through the mainstream is becuase they realize it is not idiot-proof enough yet. Their call center would be inundated and they would have returned SBes coming at them by the truckload if they got agressive on the price and marketed the SB through mainstream channels. I bet they are working on pulling together all the great stuff you guys have done and will one day soon get very rich on a more idiot-proof SB, although I bet they are doing pretty well even now! :o) -- Zten ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zten's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1810 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
