	Now that everyone's happy (for the most part) with the quality
	 of sound from REMAC, the next problem is: "It's not loud enough"
	 Well, you can now connect your PC to your stereo by following these
	 easy steps: (stolen from the game Mean Streets)

Parts required:   6' to 12' shielded cable with RCA plug (male) on one end      
                  Two alligator clips                                           
                  One 4.7 uf capacitor                                          
                                                                                
Step 1. Connect one alligator clip to the shielded portion of the cable.        
Step 2. Connect the (-) minus side of the capacitor to the center conductor of  
        the cable and then connect the (+) side of the capacitor to the second  
        alligator clip.                                                         
Step 3. Unplug your computer and remove the cover.                              
Step 4. Attach the clip with the capacitor to one of the wires going to your    
        computer's speaker.  Attach the other clip to the metal case (ground)   
        somewhere (such as a screw or bolt connection).                         
Step 5. Connect the RCA plug to the auxiliary input on your stereo system or    
        boom box.                                                               
Step 6. If sound does not come from the stereo, move the alligator clip (with
	the capacitor) to the other speaker wire. 

	I tried it out on my brother's amp and I didn't see any smoke,
	 and the sound was *much* better than from the little pc speaker.
