All started with man-powered hardware. Expansive. Unversatile. Unergonomic.

Electric hardware could only be used to play louder and make more noises. We played louder. We made more noises.

Then electronic hardware. Built by professional manufacturers /sold by professional retailers /used by professional musicians for professional record labels. Same crap again.

01980's. Machine came. ATARI /AMIGA. 01990's PC /Mac. Machine took music out of the hands of professionals. By force. Machine = normal people freely expressing their deepest feelings through music. Machine = make the records, make the packages, promote the stuff, all at home. Machine brought the power back in the hands of the artists. Machine freed us.

"Home Computer" = intended as new slavery /new support for ads. Slave traders never should have shown their weapons. Crackers and slaves took the weapons and learned how to use them. But not the way slave traders had shown them.
