I spent $9.95 on one when I ordered something else. Not a package deal, I just wasn't willing to pay shipping on a sound card. I was already ordering, and they had one, so . . . It called itself soundblaster compatibale, it came with crummy directions in assorted languages with no discernible point of origin other than "asia," and it works. It uses an ensoinc (1868 or some combination like that; i can't make it out in the machine), and gives me my blurps when my email comes, as well as letting me play with realaudio broadcasts. My $10 speakers, though (120 watt, though I ordered 80), ordered under similar circumstances, sound as if they have torn cones. But I don't care enough to pay to ship them back. It's not like I listen to mozart on them . . . hmm, mozart. time to put it the (real) cd player. rick -- These opinions will not be those of ISU until it pays my retainer. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
