[stuff deleted]. People should *not* complain about the lack of
sound through their stupid little speakers if they're not
willing to lay down the extra $150 for a sound board. People
spend $100 on an article of clothing they don't need, or
they take their car into the *dealer* for a $200 checkup,
or they buy $500 dollars of sporting equipment, etc., but
they scream if they have to spend an extra $150 on their
computer. Sheesh.
Ah, but I don't have a slot free to put the sound board. I'd LOVE to have
a sound board, but then I'd have to sacrifice my modem or scanner, 2 Meg
of extended memory, or hard disk. For far more than $800 or so I understand
there's an slot extension, not really economic that.
Have YOU got any ideas?
