I mentioned this a few times. It is absolutely absurd that there is a 
differentiation. Hardware uses software, software needs hardware. No 
response from Kim from my emails.

I think that I gig as frequently as many on this list and I definitely 
prefer software.

To lump "bedroom" and "experimental" together seems a bit demeaning to 
those that live and work in the world outside the bedroom..... whereas 
I do certainly practice sometimes in my bedroom, I live in the gigging 
world....
