Re: [Emc-users] Android powered touch screen tablets

I don't want to run EMC2 on the tablet, but it sure would be nice if there was some way to use these tablets as a client connected to a PC running EMC2. Just comparing apples to apples (sort of) they are now selling 10" Android tablets for $200 yet the cheapest dumb 10" touchscreen at MP3car.

Re: [Emc-users] multiple instances of emc?

First off, there are two separate and interesting threads intertwined in this discussion. It would be nice to see them split out. As to running multiple instances of EMC on a single computer (whether practical or not), from my perspective, is a less desirable situation. EMC makes machine control

Hello :), I think that we need an entry related to this in the wiki. I would do it myself but I lack a full understanding of the subject. Your comments looks to me as a very plausible explanation of the HOWs and WHYs. I looked into this (google) a few weeks ago, as the subject came to the list
