  7. Yep, but the slowness and complications moving around a site doesn't make it a likely often used use. Speed likely would increase on wifi though.

  9. As I mentioned elsewhere, I never seriously considered a Kindle until the iPad got me used to tablets, but the iPad cannibalized my iPhone and MacBook use (neither of which I ever read a novel on). The Kindle paperbacks and hard covers. I get the avoidance of too many gadgets, but once you get to current tablets, I think the necessity line has already been crossed for most. Besides with WhisperSync it's not a thought to move from doing the majority of long text reading with the Kindle, then switch to the iPad for the last chapter of backlit reading in a darkened bedroom. Anyway will be interesting to see if the cheapest Kindle (and Nook?) hits $99 by the holidays. Soon after that readers may be the price of an iPad case or an e-book itself.

  14. Is sitting in the parking lot awaiting opening for a double-double breakfast a bad sign? Kinda feels embarrassing.
  15. At In-n-Out for then second time this week. This thread was a mistake.

  17. Just received today. Except for the material, the clips to hold in place, an upside-down slot for paperwork to fall out, the latch, a logo and the general porportions and a it's just like in the photo.
  18. Like the new screen is like the recent DX fresh you can expect the following contrast changes. Wish the grey background was more white, but blacker blacks likely helps. Still in my Kindle honeymoon, but I certainly read faster on the Kindle than iPad.
  19. Falkon you didn't add a few extra patties?

  22. Yeah, I have three other USB or USB/Firewire externals, but the trouble is the others miss some other requirement - AC powered, power down can be disabled or I can allocate a sizable partition to FAT32 (due to other needs). Doesn't mean I can't come up with a system to test the SBTouchs functionality, just not daily use without picking up some additional gear (AC adapter for USB powered, another drive, etc.). We'll see if I get around to that in the future. Pretty swamped next two weeks, but maybe I'll run some tests after that. I appreciate your and Grahames past help. BTW, I used the LaCie Grand 2TB in case anyone wants to know model. Wonder if there's a chance it's two 1TB drives masked as 2TB and that is why SBTouch is freaking out? Google turns up nothing.
  23. Actually touch/iphone apps, but audio so who cares how large they are? I've used occasionally in the last year for naps on planes, etc. Ones for naps with alarm at end. Ones for drifting to sleep. Save a bunch, so posting here too... pzizz energizer for iPhone for free - dealmac.com

  25. Didn't make it home at decent hour last couple nights. Still having problems unfortunately tonight. Likely, it's due to the double USB drive mystery. Can switch library to served by laptop. Shut down server on USB. Eject both USBs. Move drive to Mac and terminal in and "sudo rm -rf .squeezebox". Verify it's gone. Move back to Squeezebox and let it do its thing. Start server and switch library back. Still only single (ghost?) USB drive and last played album only found. If I reset the SBTouch I get the two mysterious USB drives and my music. Oh well. Maybe I'll settle on the full server.
