You beg me to wax sarcastic, an art at which I excel!

One usually bows to gods, not curses them.  If one finds curses in their
mouth, one usually find himself alone in his misery.  I too, am sorry
that you have wasted my bandwidth and time with your dribble.  You
might, as a solution to several of your problems you have listed, try to
find these repositories of knowledge in your area called bookstores.  It
may help your literacy, your english and most certainly, your knowledge
level.

No, you are mistaken.  Your mistake was to flame and critize those who
are not responsible for your lack of intelligence, your inability to use
your own equipment and your lack of knowledge about the software which
you purchase.  The people on this list, for the most part, are
volunteers, who, rightly or wrongly, dispense advice without
renumeration.  Your form of payment we all could do well without.  The
next mistake you have made is not to have the humility to simply admit
your mistake and go away.

I have the very sound card you do in one of my platforms (a laptop) and
it works fine.  My hope is that either you disappear from this list or
that the good Lord would bless me with an extreme ability for further
sarcasm at your expense.
