Well, reactionary in the sense that I am in fact reacting. Reacting to 
witnessing a lot of so-so laptop performance (including my own). I 
suppose ones sense of novelty is subjective. I am way over being 
excited by what software someone is using. I do however love 
interesting and challenging music, concepts, ideas, visual art, etc.

I am just not sure that all of those things always make for good 
performance.
