One factor which 'worries' me a bit is whether the squeezebox community
will start to demonstrate demographic creep as time passes! (Include me
in that!)
I wonder what the average age is of users these days?

My kids obviously are heavy SB users - each one has his own Radio. Plus
shared units in Kitchen and living room (Touch). Some of our friends
