To this day, the most important thing about computer-based systems and 
the question of "stage readiness" is the single point of failure problem:
When using a computer system, a problem with any single part of the 
system (i.e. the computer hardware, os, audio application, plugins, 
interface) will usually bring your performance to a halt. This is not 
necessarily the case with non-computer based systems.
That being said, live audio on computers has come a long way since 2003 
- at least if you're willing to do the necessary configuration work:
choose your computer wisely. Optimize your os and the setup of your 
audio app. With all of that done, you can have a lot of fun with computers.
