Flappo – jog on, I’ve forgotten more about IT than you’ll ever understand. You can have your pointless fan-boy thread back. It’s a bit sad to find someone still using “Windoze” as a put-down; still, made me smile

Hmmm … and I paid money for this? The Internet is full of free places to rant on about “my Apple/Linux/PC is better than yours” and I’ll tell you what a good deal will be way more technically informed that what I’ve read here so far. Flappo - I’ve had to fix or workaround Apple integration issues you probably don’t

Oh dear. http://www.wired.com/thisdayintech/2009/08/dayintech_0806/ @ Flappo - You sir, are a fool. Check your facts before posting back like this and learn how to use Google if you want to read more. In fact, the history of Apple is well documented on Wikipedia if you care to take a look.

Just remember, Apple would be history now if Bill Gates - yes, he of Microsoft Windows fame - had not chucked $150m pocket change in their direction in 1997 when they were on the edge of the abyss. Also remember that the Apple platform died out several years ago. What you buy from Apple now is nothing more than Intel x86 technology - the same PC architecture

One thing's for certain, B&O do not make hard disks, and the one in the BS3200 is nothing special at all so £500 is just typical of the often obscene markup we have to endure. As Graham has said above, this is just a 2.5" laptop spec hard disk from one of the major manufacturers, such as Western Digital, Seagate, Hitachi to name a

Hi, B&O’s warning about fixing into studs is basically to cover their own backs, very similar to what you will get from any manufacturer of TV wall brackets etc. to guard against some ambitious DIY’er trying to fix a 10Kg load into a plasterboard wall with do-it-all nylon plugs they've found at the bottom of their toolbox. Ideally

Excellent, thanks Jonnie - confirmed my suspicions that the top section does have to be moved to get to the cap. I've ordered a new cap from B&O - hopefully it will come with the double sided tape... Cheers.

Hi, any ideas how much effort is involved in doing this? One of mine has picked up a mark and I'd like to get it replaced. I've looked in the manuals section of Beoworld and theres no service manual for these speakers, but looking at the manual for the 8000's looks like there might be quite a bit of disassembly required to get to the screws

Thats grim, even by Chinese rip-off standards. At least the 100's of fake A8 earsets on the likes of EBay take more than a passing glance to discount as faked B&O - that plastic thing is just hideous.

Thanks guys - confirmed my suspicions that it's not what I need for my setup, sounds like navigating through hundreds of albums would be a nightmare in a link room. I'll probably just extend the Duet installation. On the issue of software do i take it that any B&O unit marked as N.Music compatible would work with BeoPort? Cheers!
