I use mcedit contained in Midnight Commander, more nostalgia and userfriendliness than either Joe or Pico. It also has a nice blue color which remind me of the days of dos edit or wp5.1. Screenshot here.

The whole singing thing really wouldn't be my kind of thing to enjoy. But the orchestra I would definitely buy a ticket for.
You can actually find it out on a CD here and some Ogg and MP3 files in a another directory here

The article mentions, " If you're desperate, you can probably use an old laptop!" Net4521 price is mo than $200. 486 Laptop on Ebay goes for less than $50. With a little work you can use any CF as a HD storage, but you might as well use the disk that comes with the laptop. Combine this with a $40 worth of pcimcia ethernet and wifi cards and you have something that will work for $100 or so. If you use Debian as the OS, you can ssh into it and apt-get upgrade it to keep it far more secure than any dinky off the shelf box. If you want a switch to go along with it, stick a $20 switch on it, but it would be easier to just wifi into it. The article is a great guide to building one of these things, even for desperate people tempted to buy a $60 access point with software you don't know or control.

Check out the excellent symphony by Johan de Meij.

Here's an amateur performance of it.

Here's a mirror of the pdf file.

Here's the screenshot
It's not too spectacular, if you ask me.

This is what a lizard would do to a butterfly.

M$ would be wiser to choose a seal as a logo animal.
