The whole "laptop musician" thing is the most ridiculous instance of the 
press revealing its ignorance. I mean, how exactly does a laptop differ from 
any other computer (other than the fact that it folds up and is easy to take 
to gigs)?  This would be like trying to label a scene as "nord rack rockers" 
or something, differentiating them from people who are so uncool as to use 
the keyboard version rather than the hip rack mounted version.  Is anyone 
else as perplexed by this as me?
