Cheapo laptop ($500), connected to my TV and surround sound, wireless keyboard + remote control to switch back to my FiOS TV is close enough for all of this for me.

Writing music in trackers is like using a great programming language. A super fast way to get your thoughts into something you can listen to. I've never found a more efficient mechanism since.

Growing up in the scene in the U.S. was quite hard. I was lucky to grow up on the East Coast where most of the little U.S. parties were in the 90s. Drove all the way up for NAID 95. Good times. It's been great to see the demoscene roar back

True, but before Sybase got into it, it was a startup called Mobile 365. And there are several other startups in the telco space like these guys http://openet.com/ . Not disagreeing, just saying it's fully possible, and quite relevant to a
