I'm afraid the original poster really said a lot with few
words when he said "$150 for the cards...more use than just to play
video games."
IMHO Creative Labs must be the epitome of the arrogant
Corporation, if they think the deserve $100 for their development
kit. From what I hear it's no good, anyway.
In an earlier post, I mistakenly gave people bogus info on
how to subscribe to the Sound Blaster PROGRAMMER's mailing list.
The way to subscribe is: mail this message:
SUBSCRIBE BLASTER {your name goes here}
to: listserv@porter.geo.brown.edu
Example, I would send SUBSCRIBE BLASTER Heath Hunnicutt
Administrative questions should be directed to Joel Plutchak,
plutchak@porter.geo.brown.edu.
See ya,
Heath
