- Not only DO you need to get an extra device, you said so yourself
- in a previous article. This crap about not caring that it's not a
- standard feature is irrelevant. The bulk of PCs I see purchased
- not only don't have a sound card, but their graphics are just
- normal VGA. There is far more likelihood of the companies that buy
- these PCs getting fancy modems for them than there is of those
- companies buying a graphics or sound card for them.
-
- And I imagine that such companies make up the bulk of PC sales.

-
- Chopping your definitions to suit your view is a pretty blind way
- to do things, and I think significantly disqualifies your opinion.

-
- Sheesh. Frequently people (ab)use quotes that they themselves fit
- perfectly.
