The whole reason I have the Squeeboxes is because my wife did not want
to clutter up our nice newly decorated living room with racks of CDs
and LPs. She thought an iPod dock would do the job but I persuaded her
that there was another way...

Just because a woman doesn't take to Squeezeboxes doesn't mean she's
dim. My wife has a mathematics degree from Oxford University (which I
think qualifies her as Not Dim), but she's not that enamoured of our
Squeezeboxes. She *can* use them, but prefers that I operate them.

It can be a generational thing ? They have been told that they can't.

I don't think it's quite so much about being _able_ to use the system as
it is being _willing_ or even _wanting_ to use the system. As soon as
someone thinks that something is more complicated than doing it the old
