Not only the firmware, though.  Am I right in thinking that if you buy a
Touch (which I'd like to do because it 'is' a good audio-quality unit),
that you need an internet connection both to:

(a) start it in the first place, and
(b) maybe also each time you turn on?

In other words, is both an internet connection essential for Touch, as
well as access to a firmware-distributing server?  And for the firmware
update, would a recent version of LMS adequately 'serve' recent firmware
to a newly-purchased Touch which perhaps internally had firmware dating
as far back as its production date?

I'd like to run LMS and Touch (with other SBs) on a local net with no
internet connectivity - which I can do with SB receivers - but wasn't
sure is possible with Touch?
