I also had to RMA one of my squeezeboxes & was given a 50% discount on another product. I called today to order the touch since I had seen here yesterday that it was finally released. The rep told me today that it has not been released yet & was not scheduled until July. He said they were hoping for an earlier release date but as of now it is still offically set for July.

When did you place your order?

Thanks for the heads up -- I picked up a few too!

I have a sister who is like that with art too. When we were little she would draw the pictures for me to color instead of a coloring book. And both of my sisters are very talented musicians. We all had the same musical training from a very young age & we were all competetive, but I had to work 3 times as hard to be even close to where they were. ( they both have the crazy laugh ) I do think exposure helps - but you can only go so far on practice alone.

Yeah - it just amazes me when I see this kind of talent at such a young age. Practice is one thing - but at 6 yrs old theres more to it than just practice. Some folks are just born with it.

So where does this kind of talent come from?

Yep - I agree. Working in a middle school I am astounded at how cruel kids can be. And surprisingly I also have seen parents involved -- posting to their kids' enemies. Then the kids come to school mad & fighting at something their mothers actually wrote. amazing..... but true.

Thanksgiving Tacos for me & mine Happy Happy day to everyone!

Ok -I just ordered it! It won't be here till Dec. 4th - but I'll let you know what I think.

I listen more than I talk but I'm letting my skin get thicker And yeah - a little more estrogen is never a bad thing

This may be something I order! In a few years my hubby & I plan to full time RV for a couple of years. Since I read all the time, carrying books would be a real problem. Having something like this would be a perfect solution - always plenty to read & nothing taking up space.

There is a newly opened outlet mall here that is opening at midnight on Friday. They are planning snow machines & the whole nine yards! Now snow machines in El Paso are pretty funny! Bet it works & the place is packed.

Jason -- check your pm's please!

I sold the "transportable" portion of my portable setup to fund upgrades to my home setup. I left myself with iems, i grados & a couple mp3 players for portable use. I hardly used my micro dac & hornet on the go. But I find myself missing those upgrades in some transportable situations - like while camping. I really enjoy just veging out in the hammock w/the micro dac, hornet & RS1's! So while they are not a priority to me, I'm slowly going to add back those pieces I miss but don't use so often. On the go I don't want to mess with the extra stuff but when I'm partially stationary I do miss the sound upgrades they allow. As for this "transportable" setup comparing to my home stuff - not even close. Its very good - but nowhere near a home amp & good source.

I am dedicated enough, its that damn MAN that lives with me that limits my dedication
