I have been browsing this forum for several months now and finally decided to create an account just to say this.
I think Shaggy's is a paid operative working for Irex. Every comments that he responded in the Irex forum have been clearly bias. If you review his comments you see that he talks as if he knows what's Irex's internal plans and objectives are. He defensed Irex left and right when someone complained about his beloved company. It just make me want to puke every time I read his comments and I think everyone (include the moderators) knows this. I feel sad that this forum tolerate this kind of behaviors. |

Suggest you close your account without posting again. Shaggy, so far as I know is not an employee of IREX, although IREX employees to visit these boards to give advice and receive feedback. Shaggy seems to be a helpful and knowledgeable individual, who from time to time has to put up with the kind of crap contained in your post.

Everything I have read from Shaggy suggests to me that he is no one's fool and no one's shill. Take your trolling elsewhere.

I think you underestimate the ability of an average non-paid individual to love a product and want everyone around him to use it.

I don't think so. I don't hang around the Irex forums much, but I did check out Shaggy's posts.
Yes, he is generally pro-Irex, so what? I'm generally pro-Sony 505 and if you go to the Apple forums you'll find any number of members who, if they aren't already, really should be being paid by Steve Jobs. As for being well informed about Irex, then yes he is. Again, so what? It's obviously an interest of his and I assume he makes it his hobby to keep abreast of developments. I can't understand why you would register purely to spread unfounded allegations against a member of these forums. Are you sure you're not in the employ of one of Irex's competitors? |

I would suggest, jackwise, that you report someone whom you feel is guilty of misinterpreting our Guidelines.
I would also suggest that you, as well, read our Guidelines for a better understanding of what is and is not appropriate. Starting an account and then mentioning that person's name in your thread's title in a negative way is not an action conducive to good feelings. There will always be differences of opinions between owners of the various ebook Readers. ALL members are able to express their opinions about those Readers - as long as it is done without insult to another person. Don (Moderator) Last edited by Dr. Drib; 04-27-2010 at 03:41 PM. |

I actually do understand jackwise's standpoint. I got irritated in the past by Shaggy's remarks and general downplaying of various issues of DR1000, especially those regarding battery life.
But I got used to it and as a matter of fact now I'm just glad that Shaggy always tries to be helpful. ![]() |

Do I know them better than other's? I don't know, maybe. I've been active on their forums and following their products and software development since early 2007. That just means I may be more familiar with them and their history, doesn't mean I have any real "insider" knowledge. I'm also a professional software developer (nothing to do with iRex) and have worked on firmware for embedded devices in the past. Maybe that also gives me more insight into what they're doing and/or describing in their posts on here than the average poster without that background. I may be reading things in between the lines of what they're saying, based on my own experience with similar projects. Although, there are several people on here who understand the DR source code a lot better than I do. Last edited by Shaggy; 04-27-2010 at 04:18 PM. |

It's "normal" compared to a lot of the other battery tests that were done with the original firmware by other users on here. It also matches up with my own experience.
I have no idea what iRex's internal testing shows for DR800SG standby battery life. |

Is it "good" or "bad". I don't know, and didn't even get into that. I just said it was "normal" compared to what most others were seeing. |
