have you ever read the paper i wrote on "IDM"? i've linked it occasionally over the years. i wrote it in april 2003 for a 100 level music history class, and i would write it a lot differently now than i did then, but at the time i was satisfied with it and got a good grade. no "ghetto tech" discussed, however.
