Thanks....
Do you think of the squeezebox as a computer or as an embedded system?
Largely, - it is my opinion, based on the most often used definitions: when we say "computer" we mean a multifaceted commercial "personal computer" that has HIDs, & does many things: purpose, AND mechanism.
I contend that it is a very small minority who would want to call a streamer a computer, - lest they confuse their audience. We just don't interact with websites, check Email, write letters, book airplane tickets on our Squeezeboxes.
Thanks again for your well reasoned post.
