And another thing....I'm having a grumpy day today due to a bad back, so I'm going to keep going. Why is it Meridian's problem if someone bricks their machine due to unofficial software? That's the users problem, and they accept the risks when they use it. If the mechine is in warranty, it will be void. If it's out if warranty, they have to pay for a repair anyway. Most companies love repair business - mine does - it's very profitable. By all means communicate the risks, but don't treat intelligent and enthusiastic owners like outlaws. Spell out the risks - suggest that we wait a few more weeks - offer people beta software - engage with community etc. Meridian owners are often the same people that engage so successfully with Oppo and Lumagen, and we know how well that works.
