RE: Re: [microsound] laptop as a performance device.

[Noel Peters <npeters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The issue seems to be being discussed as though the laptop is
problematic in theory. My experience is that there is empirical evidence
that the laptop is problematic. Many people I speak with have a problem
with the use of laptops. It is almost becoming a meme, that the laptop
is to be despised. Maybe it's just the Luddites in my local community,
although it seems to be a wider concern.

So I think arguing that it isn't a problem is a bit like preaching to
the converted. Is the approach to persist with the obvious functionality
of the laptop and wait for audiences to latch on to the idea that it
doesn't matter, or is the approach to layer an artificial performance
over the top. I prefer the former, because the latter seems dishonest.
Or does that matter?
