Creative Labs has finally got around to getting out a GREAT sound board.
Or at least, by its specs, it should be great.  If anybody has one, I'd
love to hear comments.  The specs that CL sent out are as follows:

"Get the full power of 16-bit professional-quality sound!  Sound Blaster
16 offers affordable CD-quality stereo sound for a variety of applications.
From boardroom presentations to point-of-purchase displays.  For
audiophiles of any level, the state-of-the-art Sound Blaster 16 is the
latest Creative Labs sound board to break through the PC sound barrier!"
     - 8-bit Stereo sampling and playback from 5KHz to 44.1KHz
     - Enahnced 4-operator, 20-voice, OPL-3 stereo FM music synthesizer
     - Sound Blaster compatible
     - Stereo digital/analog mixer for all audio input and output
     - Built-in 4 watts per channel amplifier
     - Software controls for volume, bass & treble tone, and input &
          output gain
     - Microphone and stereo line-in jacks
     - MIDI interface ( Sound Blaster and MPU-401 UART modes ). Available
          expansion for PCM wave table synthesizer. 
     - Windows 3.1 and MPC compatible
     - Bundled software included

I don't work for CL, and that was not a sales pitch, merely giving you
some information that might get those of you who have an SB Pro interested
in buying it because I have a plot.  If you do own an SB Pro and want to 
upgrade, I would like for you to contact CL and ask about an upgrade offer.
I figure, the more people they have call, the better the chance of them
giving a decent upgrade offer.  ( Personally I can't afford the $349.95
price tag that they put on it. )

The board won't hit the market until the end of the year, but that's not
all that far away when you think about it.  So call them...PLEASE...for a
poor college student's sake.  THANKS!
