Yes, I also changed a sound card in one of my ILM authorized machines and, 
based upon what I had been hearing, feared that a problem I was experiencing 
was due to FS's detection of a change in hardware. As things turned out, the 
problem lay with SoundBlaster adjustments and nothing else. I will talk to 
Sharon Spensor and Eric Damery tomorrow to get the straight dope on this, an 
important issue to all of us. To say the least, I would have been more than 
disappointed, had I discovered my problem, this morning, to have been of 
Floridian origin.
