The sound of silence
Sorry for the silence yesterday -- my new laptop arrived, and I was a wee
bit preoccupied with moving my work environment over onto it. (For the
technovoyeuristically inclined, it's an Apple titanium Powerbook G4,
15" screen, 1GHz processor, 1Gb of RAM, 60Gb disk, DVD-R/CD-RW, running
MacOS/X 10.2.4 and a shedload of UNIXy powertools that I had to install
on it. The video card alone has roughly 96 times as much memory as my
first PC. It chewed a fat hole in my wallet, even though I didn't pay list
price for it, and I think I'm going to have to ensure I keep running it
for a couple of years.)
Meanwhile, normal service will be resumed after I get through with listening
my way round the museum of
Soviet synthesizers. Seems the USSR was big on electronic music
machines, and there are loads of samples of their output all over this
website.
