if you're looking to use a computer for making music, you may want to ask on the idm-making list. You'll probably get more on-topic replies there derek At 05:05 PM 10/5/2001 +0000, you wrote:

Y'all need to check the IDM List archives. http://music.hyperreal.org/lists/idm/ This discussion comes up more times than I care to count and starts more flame wars than I care to re-experience.
