Those Champagne series are nice (I have them at home).... If you really want to try a nice set of speakers, go for the Sound Sticks. Yes, I know they're for Macs, but I have them here on my desk on my 2000 box and they sound sweet!!! I was in the California facility two weeks ago where the speakers are made. Wait until you see some of the iPOD stuff coming out - great sound!!

This computer is still reverting back. Permissions on the \messenger key in the registry seem to match other service keys. The user has gotten into the habit of just NET STARTing the service in the morning. The messenger service spam isn't an issue here, since this is a computer on our internal network behind a firewall. This particular employee uses the messenger service to communicate with her secret lover/coworker of mine. :] Ray at work p.s. I just got new Harman Kardon computer speakers (those champagne looking things) and they sound incredible! These were to replace my Polk set that I had that were just ungodly awful sounding. I was quite surprised that Polk couldn't put out a good sounding computer speaker... > -----Original Message----- > From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Etts, Russell > > There is an issue with MS messenger - spammers were using it to their > hearts content.
