I just spent a week in SF in Sept., lot of fun but crazy to get around when I was driving. By sheer luck I was there over the Labor Day weekend when they closed the Bay Bridge (Friday evening through Tuesday morning) so us tourists had then entire city to ourselves. That was nice! :) It doesn't help that I grew up in a town with a single stop light (still that way today) so big cities are very intimidating to me to begin with. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70193 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] I live in San Francisco - Where can I go buy one NOW?
In the SF Bay Area, the East Bay commute routes (in any direction) consistently rank near the top of the "Worst Commutes" lists the newspapers periodically prepare. And that's nothing new, it's been that way for a long while. Most people don't have to put up with quite as much abuse as the East Bay folks do. BUT, so long as everybody is happy where they are, and have the right equipment to listen to the music they like, that's all that matters. -- Goodsounds Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70193 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I USED TO DRIVE THROUGH THIS FROM DUBLIN TO SAN FRANCISCO FOR 22 YEARS: [image: http://id.mind.net/~barbados/bay-bridge-traffic.JPG] I HATED IT AND ALSO MOVED TO OREGON. MY COMMUTE NOW IS 8 MINUTES ON A BAD DAY. I JUST GOT A SQUEEZEBOX-BOOM A FEW DAYS AGO AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I'D DRIVE THROUGH THAT TRAFFIC AGAIN IN A SECOND TO BUY ANOTHER. IT'S THAT GOOD. PERIOD.

The space were the Boom and Duet demos were previously sitting was filled with the Sony Altus stuff. I asked them if they still had squeezeboxes, and was told that they still sell them, but don't keep them in stock. The person I was talking to, told me that they get an inquiry about squeezebox about once a week. I also just checked BB on line and they list the radio as being backordered. -- gdpeck gdpeck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70193 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Is Best Buy dropping the SB line? They are still in local BB's here, but not much stock. In fact a brand new BB just opened in my town, open for less than a month, and they did have a single boxed Boom and Duet on the shelf. Seems odd they would bother stocking any in a brand new store if they are soon to not carry them. Of course, as usual, finding where the SB's are located in the store is always a challenge. It took four department heads, 5 minutes on their inventory computer, and a lot of me explaining what they were used for, all to find the lonely two items in boxes on a very lonely shelf.:( -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70193 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

When I ordered my radio a couple weeks ago, it was around 2pm, and UPS picked it up around 5pm I think. If you made today's shipment, and I think you would, then UPS should be able to get it to you tomorrow. But, yeah, I left the Bay Area 25 yrs ago, and do not miss the traffic at all. (Oakland -> Hayward, 26 miles against traffic and it still took 45minutes... I don't want to think what it's like now.) But I guess it's time to go home now, off to my 7 mile trip home, which takes me 12 minutes -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70193 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Yeah I hear ya. Thanks for the recommendation of Central Computers. I just called them up, and they don't have it. Bleh. Well, I have to go to work in San Carlos on Monday so maybe i can just swing down to their HQ on Monday... I want one NOW though! Don't want one badly enough to drive 2 hours round trip for nothing though... maybe worse as I'd hit traffic on the way back. -- hungarianhc hungarianhc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33752 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70193 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

You could always go down to Mountain View and pick one up will-call from the main office. You will need to make an online order from www.logitechsqueezebox.com. Since Best Buy doesn't have them anymore, your only option is probably Fry's. There arn't any good electronics stores in SF, you have to go out to the burbs for that stuff.
