As has been mentioned you can always load a firmware version from a USB stick or SD card even if the flash is trashed, as long as the equivalent of the BIOS (the boot loader) is intact. If you are woried about logitech not supporting things in the future, grab a version of the firmware you like and put it on a USB stick and keep that in your fireproof safe. (you probably want a CD or stick of the matching server as well) That should keep you going for a LONG time no matter what else happens. If the bootloader gets trashed recovering is a little more difficult. You need to open the Touch up and attach a special cable which attaches to a serial port on your computer running special software that will program a new bootloader into the Touch, not something most users are going to do. Fortunately the probability of the bootloader going bad is VERY low.
