I love this one! Can I plagiarize it?

90% of the videos are poor resolution, often done by people who think that the eyes of the world are on youtube and that sucking your teeth makes good diction. Plus, frankly, the ground to cover is way beyond the texto/video croud bandwidth. I'm all for good printable docs but things are changing so fast that it has to be dynamic, somehow. 

If I might add another generalization, it's that we are often confronted with skillfully erected tutorials that explain how to land on mars whereas we first need to know how to reach escape velocity in earth orbit. For a long time I kept getting thrown by the idea that rosegarden never could make a sound on its own. Now I know that it needs fluidsynth and that to use fluidsynh "I" need qsynth. What I get stuck on these days is more likely to be qjackctl 'connections' which presume that users know how to connect equivalent midi hardware. Well, wrong again, I don't have much hardware either except my computer and a soundcard and have never seen how a midi RealDevice gets connected to anything.

'nuff rant, cheers!
