Oh man, you're telling my dreams to the world? I just recently
bought a used DC for nearly nothing [and put an end to useless
MS-Windows booting for gameing] The DC is a really nice box and
already has an active developers community with Linux and BSD
running on the DC. But except a mp3-player there are no decent
audio apps for the DC. It would be so cool to use a DC instead
of the usual laptop for performances, wouldn't it?
