I've never actually tried it, but I think there are some people that have. I don't remember the results. And if it really becomes an issue the code that does the connect to mysb.com is just lua code that CAN be modified one way or another. At boot time the Touch looks for a specific file on a USB stick or SD card, that file could contain a patch script that modifies the lua code that tries to connect to mysb.com. I don't know if anybody has actually done it, but it certainly can be done. So even if mysb.com goes down, the comminity will figure out some way to boot a Touch from scratch. (at least as long as USB sticks or SD cards exist!) (anybody rememebr 5 1/4 floppies? 8 inch floppies?)
