How much is your budget for speakers?
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

$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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Gah. Twice in the last few days my iPod has suddenly rebooted itself while in the middle of playing something. It's never done that before.
It's the third generation (I think) - the 40 gig one that was right before they switchd to the click wheel.

Ugh.
Ok. I've got the DSL modem and wireless network working. I've got my main computer and my laptop seeing each other. But, I can't get Emily's laptop to see my main computer and my laptop. We want her to be able to print through my main computer, so this is desirable. Any suggestions?

Actually, I lied. None of the computers see each other.

Your tag here.
bug,
1. Are all of these computers Windows PCs?
2. By "see" you mean you open Network Neighborhood and no other computers appear?
3. Can you connect to the Internet from each computer?
4. If these are Windows XP machines, do you know if Service Pack 2 is applied? This may be firewall related.

I dunno if I can remember all this crap, but... have you turned on file sharing?

Yeah, I did file sharing when attempting to set up the network.
