I was checking out some IBM computers the other day and saw this nice $3000
set-up with this multi-media package which included a CD-ROM, windows, and
Sound Blaster Pro... this thing looked and sounded better than the Amiga. I
didn't know IBM did that stuff. This makes me wanna sell my Amiga and get
compatible with the rest of the world...

I couldn't stay around to ask many questions, plus the guy was pissing me off
telling me how much better his machine was. Does anyone know the specifics on
the Sound Blaster Pro? It sounded just like a 16 bit sound board on the Amiga,
but for $170 (I think). So what's the deal? Seems like I'd have to buy
thousands of dollars worth of hard ware to compare to this machine's graphics,
speed, and sound! I thought it was the other way around.
