Ah okay, I misunderstood you, pencil. I agree then.
DJing is more than just playing some tracks after each other
By the way, what music do you spin?

I've been mixing and scratching for more than 20 years and even though I also use my Mac to do mixes now I wouldn't trade my two Technics 1210s and mixer for anything in the world. It's all about L-O-V-E for music and I really think it's the best way to learn how to dj.
That's my opinion anyway...

yeah, decks are the way to go. it's mainly because of dj's that vinyl has survived and if you're going to dj, i think that has to be part of the mindset. it doesn't mater what you play, you're a caretaker of music for generations down the road.
let's face it, as an archival medium for music, vinyl is still the best.
used to have decks in my old studio and we would spin everything from mahalia jackson to NWA. Hell, we'd try to mix Mahalia Jackson and NWA! Everyone who came in would have a go and while most people sucked, it was still a lot of fun and really interesting because people would dig through our crates and pull out stuff we never even thought of playing.
until the ipod, the turntable and vinyl was definitely the best way to interact with music and in my mind, that's a lot of what being a dj is all about.
