Re: Inverted gear snobbery

["Stephen P. Goodman" <sgoodman@earthlight.net>]

Every time I've had my PC out there - whether doing sound-sync to graphics,
or just recording our output - some wag has always for some reason come up
and asked, "You do MIDI with that, right?"

I try to be kind and say, "No, it's all Real Live," to quote one of John
Sebastian's albums.
