Yeah I think the whole sound setup for OLPC is the best thing I've ever
seen, especially given how limited that hardware is.

I do augment my studio with some high end hardware, like I have the Korg
Oasys, and that does make up for not having VST, if I want to master high
end audio I can use my Oasys as an external processor.

But ironically though I bought it to do sound track work, once people hear
what I've done with csound, they don't want me to use anything but csound!

So I may wind up working with an Oscar winning composer doing some
soundtrack work, not using the "professional" (but expensive) Oasys, but
using the free csound, simply because it can do things that no synth or vst
can do, when I'm running it with python and plugging complex opcodes
together.

Even though it takes much longer to write a piece it doesn't matter, the
quality of the sound is such that it turns out to be worth the wait.
