I'm skeptical of Larry's claim, because I have been a hardcore audiophile all my life, and I know where people err, they put too much money toward something of little to no benefit. My motherboards in this and my previous machines had 24/192 audio, and my $30 Logitech speakers power my non-Bluetooth headphones, which are terrific. Paying for sound cards and overpriced gear is for morons, but I seem to remember Larry talking about such. -- Joel W. Crump Amendment XIV Section 1. [...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
