Pretty sure that the playback software needs to be loaded

off device....

The device still cannot be configured to run email, or browse the internet, or load/run Photoshop. No person would ever buy such a device and call it a computer. Or a place like Best Buy would never call it such, & sell it that way. Even a Roku or an Apple TV, is far more of a computer than these 1 use devices.

But then we've had these arguments before....

I just find it very ironic that one would praise high end audio manufacturers for their ability to build great CDPs, - yet criticize them for designing digital file players, that start from the ground up, as single use, networked file players, sans the noise of multifunction computers. It's closer to a Schlage iOS door lock...

My NAS drive has a limited version of Linux installed on it, and I call it a, (guess what), NAS drive.
My Router has a limited use firmware OS on it, and people don't call routers computers.

As i understand it, Bob is only interested in fighting: standing alone in myopia of "it's my solution, so it has to be best."

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
