Velvet Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 The answer: Virtual reality and laziness happily skip along hand in hand, and from what I see laziness is currently the most common disease in North America.Allright, Mr. Grumpypants will stop now so y'all can get on with discussing your mepads.

And what's with all this "posting on message boards" crap? I expect all future missives to be delivered to each of us individually by carrier pigeon.Unless, of course, you're lazy...

Esau. Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Why do people deal in virtuals when actuals are readily available?My take? Cost.A virtual recording studio/gear etc has got to be a heck of lot cheaper then a real one. Now, I'm only guessing as I don't know what an ipad or recording studio, keyboards, drum kit etc really cost.Sort of like using google maps to plan a route or trip. I mean, you can just buy a map and carry it with you. It's got to be cheaper and easier then lugging a laptop around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't misconstrue my pathetic attempt at humour. :chug: :chug: :chug: Thanks ollie, very nice of you to say. I will have to concede it's a symbiotic relationship - if not for this website I doubt I would be writing them.That said, I stand by my quote - I write them for my own benefit and post them mainly out of ego; you might be shocked to know how eagerly I look forward to seeing people respond to them, which is pretty pathetic.I'm currently reading "Women" by Bukowski, and in it he says the greatest mistake writers make is assuming others will be interested in reading about their lives.I'm paraphrasing.Seriously though, I very much appreciate the kind words.
