I second this recommendation of Hydrogen - it really is great. I use it to play simple beats in the background whilst I play guitar/bass, when trying to write songs - then use it to do the entire drum track for the recording.
Not only that, but I also find it useful when practising drums; create a beat to which I can play along, then slowly add in more complexity and try to keep up.:)

Agree and good comparison! Making games for Linux now is like what making games for DOS was years ago.
Obviously you have not tried developing games for Linux. If you had (and actually given it a good go), you would have come across the wonderful world of SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL, etc.

I have to agree with the parent comment - switching hands just made things much, much worse. My left hand is now as bad as my right one...
