Mr Borton,

As far as I know, Creative does not make any type of hardware DVD decoder
card.  You are most likely referring to the DVD decoder card that Creative
has repackaged in their own name, since they are actually manufactured by
SigmaDesigns, and originally named the RealMagic Hollywood Plus.

I do not doubt that you have your MCSE, since I know people that know a
helluva lot less about computers than you are demonstrating - they too
claiming to have their MCSE.  However,  MCSE has nothing to do with
hardware; NOTHING.  The fact that you use your MCSE to backup arguments
about SMP's, Motherboards and such is really quite sad.  It's sorta like
using an MBA to back up your claims that the world is not flat.  If you want
to talk about your hardware go get your Aplus, or at least break open a few
power supplies and try and ground the capacitors with your finger ;).

Anyway, congrats on your MCSE, and I hope you find high paying jobs with it.

Larry
