With teh Wireless service, it need sto stay on ... you aren't downloading it, it's remote-operating via your hardware. Small, but important, difference!
And, yes, a lot of pros and cons to the heavy Skillsoft build, as intended. Having a pile of skills that you can switch through when needed vs having fewer skills but that they can be Edged = a cost-benefit analysis. There's no clear "This way is better"... each version is strong here and weak there.
Which means working as intended. Yay!
