According to this article at The Best buy guys are going to get some sales training for the SlingBoxes.

For retailers, Sling Media hired Channel Force to train the thousands of sales agents at Best Buy, London Drugs and FutureShop.

This might help to avoid some of the confusion there has been in the past.
Hard to believe Blake didn't call me first to handle this for him.

Another Humm, makes you think for this article...

The Sling Box is available for Mac and Windows Vista platforms. The company is working on a Linux/Java player for the future.

Food for thought. :)

Sorry, Brandon... there's nothing here.

We didn't do a great job communicating to the author that we're aware of interest in other platforms out in the world and as a company we ultimately want to be on as many as possible. As you know, our current development focus is Mac and PalmOS (both in beta). We also have the enhanced Vista build and Clip+Sling in the works.

I thought he was that he was pulling something out of the air on the Linux/Java Player. Hence my 'According to this article....." Glad you cleared that up!
