I seem to recall buying all of your stuff when you were trying to make NES carts work, TSC.

What exactly does that have to do with anything?

No respect for the the few of us who dug in and figured it out as opposed to just giving up?

Who said anything about respect? I'm telling you it works both ways - it's your right to spend your time however you want and it's anyone else's right to have an opinion about it. I personally couldn't care any less either way. Is it for me? Fuck no. Do I think it's extremely overpriced? Absolutely.

Having said that, pulling the "respect" card in a thread littered with your defensive posts, dick measuring & advertisements is a complete Shitlord move, especially in the context of $500 NES systems.

As far as giving up goes: not even close. I've been releasing self-coded, limited-run, unmarked NES playback/demo carts to various Goodwill stores around the US for a few years now.

If you're insisting we accept the value of time/work put into this project, you need to accept the opinion that some of us find this completely unnecessary and retarded.

@esc: Thanks for the kind words.

@metatronaut: Don't listen to music. Period. Turn off the radio, don't buy vinyl and erase the music off your phone.

Spend a year away from music which isn't yours, ignore the politics of what it is you're using to create and do nothing but write with anything you have. Want to listen to house? Make it. Want to listen to thrash metal? Make it. Want to listen to a 1920's cover of an early 90's era Kenny G anthem as interpreted by a satanist drinking chocolate milk? Make it. The advice might sound a little draconian but trust me when I say it works.

By doing this you get a better understanding of what it is you actually want to make, opposed to what you feel you need to make because of the equipment you're using. You also develop a unique workflow and avoid the trap of outside influence.

Thanks for the acknowledgment. Really all I want are two things:

Publicly admit or deny that you are selling or have sold unauthorized GenMDM's on ebay.

Publicly tell me who I've "left hangin" or explain why you would make groundless claims against my reputation.

As it is with most things in life.  It is a bit more complicated than that.  If you are willing to leave your white marble perch and realize certain realities then we can talk.  Otherwise it is what it is.

What a defensive, expert level non-answer. These should be easy questions to address.

I don't think blue laptops work with MIDI. Should have purchased the white one.

This might be a dumb question,  but I do not know very much about computers so I figured I would ask here.

I am planning on buying a cheap windows laptop in the next couple of days.  I have my eye on this one.

I am getting a PC so that I can start learning Arduino,  basically.  I am getting a Gamebuino soon and an Arduboy eventually,  and I am going to want to try and learn programming and make my own retro games and such...  so I need a computer to plug them into.  I am also interested in creating synthesizers with Arduino.

So that is the primary reason for my getting of a laptop,  for learning about,  and using Arduino.  I already have an iPad that I use for internet-ing n' stuff. 

BUT,  I figured as long as I'm getting a PC,  I could get Famitracker!  I have always wanted Famitracker.

So... My question is,  do you think the laptop in question is adequate for my purposes?  "Will it work?",  basically.  I know there are much better computers out there that can handle these things just fine,  but I just want to know if I will be able to use Famitracker and Arduino with this computer. 

Please forgive my computer ignorance...

Thanks for your help.

Just go to Wal-Mart and buy whatever. It's 2015.
