    If I can download pr0n faster, it's an established fact I will. And, when I do, it's inevitable that more of my time will be consumed to enjoy the added volume. And I just can't afford to waste 20 hours a day!

    And, since this is going -1 Troll anyways, I might as well. The source of my evil and insanity

    You do the math. Disgustingly yours,

    I've been wondering, is it possible to make any file, a .wav or equivalent, pump the file out of line out, on the sound card. Then suck it in through the line in, on another sound card and thus regurgitate the bytes. Sound cards have d to a converters and visa versa. Kind of like changing a picture into a song and bunging it down the telling bone like. After all everything in memory is just ones and zeros isn't it. Basicaly converting a number into a frequency then back again.

    Perhaps somebody could explain the difference between an ethernet card and a sound card 'cuz I'm a bit dim about these matters. I'm wondering what kind of thru put you could achieve especially if you pumed up the volume and applied judicious cooling.

    Thanx Peter
