Yeah, I'm probably still stuck in the old way of thinking back when SoundBlaster was the only way to
go with sound cards (I used a SoundBlaster then a SoundBlaster 16 for many years before this latest
upgrade).  But now, I'm not too sure about their commitment to their products.  (BTW, I bought the
SB 16 PCI after having to return a SoundBlaster Live! 5.1-- my computer wouldn't even POST with the
card in the slot, even though my system is PCI 2.1 compliant.)
