Hey John, You seem just the guy I'd like to get some information from. I'm looking at buying a Touch/external hard drive/active speakers to use as my main music system. The Touch will be in a bedroom approx 13' x 16', so I could use the onscreen functions and remote, but I wanted to be able to control it via wireless netbook. From what I'm understanding, to do that I'd install the Squeezebox Server to the netbook which is cool, but can I still use the onscreen touch functions if I wish? I wouldn't want to lose that as I take the netbook out with me, and then my partner wouldn't be able to use the Touch. Is that right? Also, I take it the Touch will connect to Active Monitors no problem? Cheers John, hope you can help. -- NeonFrog ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NeonFrog's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79230 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
