Procrastination pays off

I've been wanting to replace my aged Auditron for a whlie – it was great while it lasted but eight years is a long time for technology. I've been somewhat torn between the Squeezebox and the Sonos, and the price of the Sonos (got a grand laying about?) pretty much left me decided – the Squeezebox was it.


Yesterday we took a little road trip south to the Great Satan and I thought I'd pick one up while I was down there. Surprisingly, neither Best Buy nor Circuit City carried them (stupid of me not to check, but impulse buys, like impulse trips, are better left unplanned). So today I went to the website to find out where I could buy one, and discovered there's something better on the way: the Squeezebox is incorporating the best elements of the Sonos in its recently announced Squeezebox Duet.

There's no telling when it'll be in stores, but after waiting four years to listen to OGG and FLAC files without turning on the computer, I'm sure I can wait another few months.
