NEW YORK -- When Richie Hawtin was sneaking out of his house and into clubs to DJ, he was stuck using whatever equipment was already at the club. Like any good DJ, he was always on the lookout for new tunes to spin, so he began collecting music from local record stores. As the years progressed, he found himself toting around 200 albums and 200 pounds of equipment. (That's 90 kilograms to Canadians like Hawtin.) Those days are over. Today, Hawtin scratches out his dance tunes in clubs around the nation using a customized, 5-pound laptop created by N2IT Development. The computer hooks up to a traditional DJ turntable through a set-top box interface. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
