FW: Re: SliMP3 & Homeseer...
Okay okay okay.
I didn't mention the price in the first place. I was commenting on
th=
e
quality of the LCD.
Just because the price of the Rio was reduced to flog off end of line
stuff=
does not mean the display is good for the money.
The display _should_ have been good for the original price and _great_
for<=
BR>
$99.
Also, at least one is willing to pay =A3150-odd a time to Kevin for his
one=
s,
which is rather closer to the original price than $99...
Please don't jump in to defend the Rio when it's not being 'attacked'.
It started out as a gentle rib at the quality of the display on the Rio,
no=
t
as a "Rio is rubbish" thread, so no need to leap to it's defence
=
and start
another "this is great because it was so cheap" type of argument
=
- this will
achieve nothing except to irriate people.
I was asked what _I_ expected and _I_ said "for the original asking
pr=
ice,
something that you _can_ read" - ie if I had paid 199 I would have
exp=
ected
a lot more - this does not mean I am trying to tell people that they
should=
have expected a lot more.
Oh, and the price of the AT's and SLiMP's hasn't come down either, it
is
merely the fact of importing them from the US and/or bulk buying that
has
obtained a good price on them.
Can we just leave it there please?
