Ah Joe, I know you're getting senile and so forth <ducking> :-), but
remember, I'm not that OTHER guy, ok? <eg> If you follow the link on
that page, you will find out that WinAmp for Linux is no where to be
found on the Nullsoft website. :-( I have to admit that I missed the
date on that article and that might have raised the reg flag a tad
sooner! :-)
That post you sent along is interesting because most Audiophiles have
regular audio equipment setup in their homes for listening to music and
the such. People that usually buy the higher level soundcards are
"usually" gamers. Now as far as this guy saying that most games don't
care about the sounds, apparently, this guy isn't a gamer and is
probably out of his league! Having good sounds in a game can be a life
saver because now you have to have at the very least a 4.1 sound system,
but there's no reason not to have a 5.1 while playing a lot of these
games. Especially a FPS type game, where you will hear a shot or
footsteps behind you which you won't notice on a two speaker system.
Anyway, that's my two cents on that! :-)
By the way, I have figured out how to mount the partitions, but trying
to edit the damn file is another thing! ARGH!!! tried to edit the file,
it's a read only file and I don't have the permission to change them. So
I try the run as..., that didn't work. So I tried to log in as root (the
all powerful OZ), and it tells me that I can't log on as root at the
logon screen! We're back at four stars and threading on 3.75.....:-(
