Wish
This wish has been granted!
Laptop for live music.
I've been making music for a while on my desktop, but I can't start gigging with it cause I'm using a desktop.
If I had
a laptop, it'd make performing and recording so much easier. Ideally the laptop'd be an iBook because they are geared towards musicians and artists although anything around 1.5ghz would do for audio work.
I would use it to write and perform electronic music, along the lines of The Postal Service, Aphex Twin and Colonopenbracket, although I'm planning to use more interesting MIDI controllers to control the sound such as bend sensors, lights sensors and potentiometers. No samples as of yet, and I realise how this affects my chances of getting votes, but hey, I can try.
Having a laptop designed for creative work would also help my other goal at the moment: to get a clothing company started and established. This however, is an idea for when I
have more time away from studies and all that jazz.
Thanks for looking. (more)

I'm glad you won, but where are you finding $600 MacBooks? Everywhere I look they're at least $300-500 more than that!
I'm glad you got your wish I VOTED 5 FOR YOU! GLAD TO KNOW MY VOTE HELPED!!! Please stop by and vote & comment on my new wish when you get a chance!
Interesting. Apple computers are good for this.
this is an ace idea, it'll be interesting to see what you create
i am in a band at the moment. and laptops are a great help. hope you get it.
seriously, this seems like a worthy cause. im all for you getting it dude.
You aren't one of those guys who plays a show entirely on laptop, are you?
I hope not, they're way boring.
Means I can still go mental on stage :D
I hate the way some musicians call it live music if al they do is a hit a button to start the track, and maybe lean over the laoptop to change something once in a while.
Voted with a fiver :)

Good luck mate
dave youre a twat :]
I think that you should get one, because then it would be way better for you and your back..as in you wont have to carry your desktop around :P Good luck
This is a very worthy cause! It's difficult to imagine gigging without a laptop! Anyone who wants to start up a clothing company deserves it! Thumbs up towards it mate!

What kind of computer do you want to get? You picture is of a Mac, is that what you want?
If you are recording music, what kind of music do you do? Can you give us samples?
I'm not sure I understand the comment about the clothing company.
An iBook would be great, but any latop that runs at around 1.5ghz with reasonable RAM would do. Running a 400mhz computer with 64mb RAM at the moment, so you can see where the problem lies.
I've been experimenting with different genres at the moment, but after finding someone else into electronic music locally, I'm writting that. I can't get samples of the music at the moment, which admittedly will affect my votes, but fingers crossed.
Sorry I didn't make the clothing company comment clear: I intend to start up a clothing company in the near future and the software for cutting patterns for cloth is stupidly memory intensive. However, I'll start that plan in a year or so when I'm out of studies and have more free time.
Thanks for your time,
Dave
