Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I'm still a little head spinny over what I just spent on my new car. Yeah the SSR just seems to be priced badly.
That's where the Beetle is such a home run. Great styling and actuallu priced within reach of the people that are most likely to be attracted to it.
That was pretty much what made me go for it. It was a little more than I should've spent but not so much more that I had to give up food.
The Plymouth Prowler was another one.
I actually think the SSR is an unbelieveably ugly car. And I generally like incredibly ugly cars, but not this one.
I think the Viper and the Stealth are hideous, myself. I've seen prettier concept cars -- why did we win those?
My 5-year old computer speakers are dying. Any recs? (I have Soundsticks at work, which are pretty and all, but the volume control is kind of a PITA, and I'd prefer something a little more compact for my teensy home desk.)
I like everything Altec Lansing makes. I'd probably get these for the situation you describe.
How much is your budget for speakers?
$30-ish or below. They're in the same room as the surround-sound system that's connected to the TV etc, so all I really need them for is sounds coming out of the internet. (I could just run a cable from the computer's audio out into the main sound system, but then the "front" speakers would be behind me, which I think would be kind of annoying.)
I have Altec-Lansing speakers now, and they've been great. The ones Rob linked to look like a good bet.
Gotcha. Yeah, I don't have much knowledge on the low priced end of the speaker scale. There are some great sounding ones that I work with but you end up crossing the $100 mark. My home system is hooked up to M-Audio BX-8's, it's really fun listening to internet sounds through them.
