Back in those days programming required effort, and since there were other apps that did almost what I wanted it wasn't worth it for me to update it.

The classic approach is a fan in a box, though in the past ten years people have mostly switched over to electronic ones. But a fan is really a great approach; you just need to put it to better use: have the fan clean the air.

He got together some folks he'd been playing for, and this was the start of the Canterbury Country Dance Orchestra.

However, in sympathy to the research material (as opposed to bringing a forced perspective to bear on it) it wasn't appropriate to explore this in detail in the books.
