Lunchbox Computers for Live Music Performances?

Posted by Cliff on from the but-they-used-to-be-for-sandwiches dept.

Dan Reetz asks: "As a PC based musician, mobility is critical. However, most laptops have horrible soundcards. PCMCIA cards like a VXPocket cost about 700 clams. A friend of mine recommended I look into 'lunchbox' style computers as a portable solution. A few searches revealed them to be quite expensive and they are hard to find used. Does anyone know of a source for used Lunchbox PC's (even just the diplay would be fine) or a better low latency/noise audio solution for laptops?"

    Bush angered over China's arrest of man delivering Bibles

    ``Reports of a crackdown on religious practitioners in China are deeply troubling,'' Boucher said.

    What the fuck?!

    We're arresting and segregating people right now because they're of a middle eastern origin and perhaps even (shudder) muslims!

    This country is going to hell in a handbasket and fast. All hail the white, christian (protestant only), heterosexual America!
