>The amount of energy a Squeezebox in Standby uses is insignificant. It's not insignificant. But I wasn't thinking from a wastage of energy point of view.
Sometimes I just don't need or even want the device on. eg. if I am going away for a week, I don't want my device to be triggered from an alarm to play music all week. Chances are my PC will be off anyway. I could go through the menus and turn off all alarms, but then I'd have to remember to turn them back on again, whereas simply turning off/on the device is easier. There's just no need for it to be on. As my power strip is under the desk, and doesn't have individual on/off switches, I'd have to fiddle with plugs under the desk (so I yank the power cable out of the back of the unit instead), which is cumbersome. Why is there such a resistance to a simple on/off rocker on the back of the Squeezebox units? Everything else in the world has one. _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
