vortexbox, squeezeplug, PC, Mac: these are all variants of the same thing. That is, a computer running LMS. Some of them are more powerful computers than others, but they are all just computers. (in fact the TOUCH is a computer too, running LMS, but it is just way, way underpowered to run full LMS and barely runs the stripped down "tinyLMS". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98291 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
