Note: Just a while ago there was a big computer fair in London and they introduced Soundblaster II card, which offers far better sounds than old Soundblaster. So that's why the price of the Soundblaster is going down fast and retailers are dumping their inventories and waiting for the new one to be released. The rumours say that it should be released in June and I think that it's highly likely because the card at the fair was finished one. -- * Kai Becker - Helsinki School of Economics and Business Adminst. * * Internet: becker@karl.hkkk.fi -The road to success * * hkkk_kb@cc.helsinki.fi is always under * * Bitnet: becker%hkkk.fi@fiport.bitnet construction! *

If anyone has the specs on this new card or any more information, please post! I'd be interested in replies via e-mail, too; I won't get to read news very much soon. -- Kevin Martin sigma@ipl.rpi.edu "Can I kiss one of the bridesmaids instead?"
