Title: another pc question...
Post by: makenzie71 on May 07, 2007, 03:59:41 PM
I'm looking for a combo 56k/lan pcmcia card that's low profile enough that I can still use the other pcmcia slot on my dell laptop.  Do such critters exist?

I thought about it because I can only use one at a time anyway...if I do that I'll just get the pieces off ebay for a whopping $11.14 shipped to get both lol.  I just wanted to find out if there was anything a little more compact.  This computer gets dragged along with me everywhere and the less I need to carry with it the better.

I'm also looking for slim speakers that are decent.  My cpx's speakers suck...

Logitech makes a portable speaker system designed for iPods and other MP3 players.  I got one last year for my little sister as an Xmas gift.

I was amazed at the quality coming from such a small thing...  And don't fret the iPod in the middle...  There's a standard audio cable that hooks up into the back and plugs into ANY audio souce with the plug.

phillips shoqbox puts out the best sound I've ever heard from a small, battery powered system. And cheap, too.
