I've also heard other opinions on this, such as that the wifi receiver inside the Touch may be generating quite a lot of RF noise, so killing it may result in a less frantic digital pathway. Opinions vary, I agree that over-generalizations are dangerous, but at the same time caution against 'each case is completely different from any other case' sentiments. That extreme is also equally stupid as making sweeping generalization. Many cases share many common traits, and it is our obligation to seek out and find and document those, in order to continue our progress without being blindsided. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86201 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
