I find it an intereesting culture in these forums, that many of the SB stalwarts seem to think we users must be "nice" to SlimDevices and Logitech. I agree that vitriol and diatribes don't help anyone, however I think as users we have the right -and to a certtain the degree an obligation- to keep highlighting problems for as long as they exist. The cheerleading will not help quality control or advance the cause of the SlimDevices products. Trying to shut up users that have problems even though it is obvious they are knowledgable and have paid for the product is simply wrong. I wish it weren't true, but as big a fan I am of the traditional SB, I am utterly disappointed with the Duet. In its current form it is not a comsumer-ready device at all. The temperamental wireless behavior of the SBC is widely documented in these forums, and that is just the people that decide to actually try to fix it, as opposed to those who simply return the product without bothering any further. I have kept the Duet, hoping that one day, one sweet day, a software release comes along that fulfills the promise of the product. Until then, I shall write messages such as these to express I am a disappointed Duet buyer up until now. It is a shame that longtime SB customer like myself and Mr egd have our Duet gathering dust, several software and firmware upgrades and wireless power settings into the debugging cycle. And for others to feel entitled to tell me I should upgrade a wireless router that is pretty recent, and that has never ever had issues with any device (several PDAs, iPhones, laptops, Macs, Linux systems and what not)... well, did the Duet come with a sticker that said "will only work with a handful or wireless routers, but we won't officially tell you which ones"? I think not. -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49307 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
