You want names to make sense ??? :-) When the Touch software OS was first developed, the real server was called SqueezeCenter. So calling it TinySC made sense, it was a smaller, lighter, less feature full SqueezeCenter. Somewhere along the process, SqueezeCenter became SqueezeBoxServer. Renamed by some marketing dude, I assme. So TinySBS would be more accurate, but the old beta testers are used to calling it TinySC. One big advantage to calling it TinyFoo for some Foo, is that a fair number of the recent posts in the Touch forum are asking why feature X or Y is not there. In short, it ain't there because its a TinyFoo, running on a Tiny CPU with what is realistically a tiny amount of ram. > Back to OP - I agree with othr comments 7.5 and Touch as player has > been a very clean release.

One of the interesting observations about the Touch is that if you want to be able to touch it, and don't have ten foot long arms, what you want in a UI is totally different than what you want as a SB3/Classic replacement, where you never touch it, and use it from far away. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
