rosconey + ik632: Amen. Isn't it interesting that you can find out what folks want in about 10 minutes, but lots of time and money can be spent building what they don't want? My biased take is that the slimdevices is built by propeller heads (I say this fondly, really) for the same. They may think it is all so easy because it is so intuitive to them -- but then, there are folks like me.
ik632: Setup (that is, once my new wireless router was in place) of the Duet was easy. Then it got wonky. And whenever the receiver lost power, the controller wasn't sure what to do. I always hated the old hourglass symbol appearing on my monitor until I was reminded why it was instituted in the first place -- to let folks know something is happening. With the Duet controller, it just stares at you with that little, unblinking eye.
Maybe 'cause I'm an old fart, I'd rather use a 19" screen than a 3" one to navigate anything.
