Agreed. My point was just that asking companies for source code often scares them. Asking for hardware information appears to be less threatening. -- Björn Point taken. But when companies ask me for $300, it often scares me that their hardware may be unusable because of crap software. If it hadn't been for Rockbox, I'd likely have returned my Archos. Which brings up another point: maybe I should have returned it anyway, given that hardware problems have rendered it an inoperable $550 paper-weight. The RipDrive/X-clef looks nice (and will look even nicer with a 60GB drive), but I don't want another Archos-level quality control nightmare. Of course, the question is, who bells the cat by buying one and knocking it around a bit?Received on 2003-12-19 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
