Re: Sonos

So far, the only one to do it right was TB with the AT. And now that they
have dropped the ball I don't know what I will do when my home is rebuilt
(destroy by Hurricane Charley) if my AT doesn't work. I packed it away
securely before the storm and I have kept it packed until I can return home.
It looks like another 4-6 weeks to go. I hope it works.
