8/18    What's the difference between a SoundBlaster Platinum, X-Gamer, MP3+
        and 1024 cards?  The hardware spec sheet on the Creative site implies
        that they're nearly identical.  Is the only difference in the software?
        \_ as the Microsoft of the sound card industyr, Creative labs
           consistently, for the life of SB, done this kind of shit. unless
           you compose or like paying for extra software get the cheap
           sound card and you'll be fine.  [motd formatting God was here]
