The Linux Laptop Orchestra

They seem to follow the mould of existing LOrks, which are primarily attached to universities with undergraduate musicians. Because the technical hurdles are high, very few players also compose for the ensembles, although they sometimes build their own speakers and undertake other technical tasks. As a rule, the ensembles exist for pedagogical reasons but these do not tend to strongly include performance practice or technical materials on a level high enough to actually empower the user. Their appropriation of the orchestral metaphor is apt because they are similarly cogs in a larger machine, but they lack the freedoms and skills present in traditional orchestras as they seem to be under even more control and with much less emphasis on performance practice.

Latest Buy Refurbished Laptops News

buy refurbished laptops

Image by lungstruck
My first laptop was a Dell Precision M50. I bought it as a refurbished off-lease model from the Dell Financial Services (DFS) website. It served me as I completed my Associates Degree is Computer Information Systems. It’s too bulky and too damn heavy, but it did the job and at the time it was fairly fast for a laptop. It doesn’t see much use these days, but it still works so I keep it around.

This is the sticker that lets the world know I’m too cheap to buy a new computer! :-)
