I say this because I am now a Linux User. Well, not a full time Linux User, and besides, the only reason I’m using it now is because Windows absolutely, positively refused to install on a 12″ Dell Laptop my friend Misu gave me. However, Linux (specifically, Damn Small Linux as I’m running a 384MB flash hard drive,) runs quite nicely on it, and it even fires up wifi (which is critical as the whole point of this exercise was getting a lighter laptop running for convention reporting and general usefulness,) so I guess I’m now partially penguinated, atleast when I’m not at home and using my sweet sweet XP machine, though I’d probably even trade that in if the next version of Reason ran on Linux. After all, the rest of my day to day work – word processing, internets chatting, net browsing, image editing and video viewing can be done in Linux. I just can’t make music the way I’m used to (IE: too lazy to try Linux music making software.)

No Midi = No Deal. I do all my melody composition via my midi keyboard (the beats are programmed though.)
