- Save yourself some time and aggrevation, go out and buy a sound card
- and a pair of inexpensive computer speakers (like Labtec) and a Thunder
- board (I got a package deal at a big Discount warehouse store, $99 for
- both) The sounds are FAR Better through a sound card, even a cheapie
- sound card, than through the internal speaker. Also get a ac adaptor
- from radio shark to power the speakers (so your kids can't run down
- the batt's).
- Plus think fo the WOW Power you'll get from your kids, eh superdad?
-
- If you want stereo then you can get the Pro Audio Spectrum 16, and connect
- it to you stereo system. There's just no limit.
