I thought I'd write something positive about this forum... shock horror!
Now, I've been one of the biggest critics since the revamp and still not at all happy about it. I still can't post links or use the smileys! nudge nudge Mr Clough, but yesterday one of my fellow posters whom I've got to know over the last year or so through the common love of music, more than HiFi in fact, helped me out tremendously.
On Saturday I bought myself an early Christmas present, the Sonos Connect. Boggit, amongst others, had been singing it's praises to me for quite a while, but being blind, I never imagined I'd be able to use such a device.
Yesterday morning I thought I'd give it a whirl at setting it up on my own. I downloaded the App onto my iPhone and low and behold there was the Sonos! and the rest was a piece of cake. That was until I tried to link my Spotify account to the Connect. My dear long suffering wife tried to get it sorted between us, but we couldn't get it to accept the link code.
Boggit had already said to contact him if I needed help, so after umming and arring whether to bother him or not I plucked up the courage and dialed his number... I was a bit embarrassed to find I had interupted a family breakfast, but he took my call and seemed genuinely pleased to hear from me.
He couldn't help me there and then as he had family commitments, but offered to call me back later in the day, which he duly did and via Team Viewer he took over my PC, without little fus he solved the problem and now I am one happy Sonus Connect user... that's another story.
I may be a few pounds poorer, but all the richer for this experience.
