DOS users know this: setting up a sound card during the dark ages of DOS and Windows 3.1 was a chore. Aside from physically inserting the card yourself, you had to struggle with IRQs and DMAs. And the only real audio hardware around were probably branded Creative.
Now we can tell our grandchildren about how hard it was for us, as they roll their eyes and plug in an X-Fi Go! into their computer. The X-Fi Go! is basically a sound card that fits into, and powered by, a USB port. And it also acts as a 1GB flash drive to boot. Being a sound card, it has ports for headphones/speakers and a mic. Available for $50 from the Creative website. (popgadget.net)
