	In A+ magazine for the last few months before its demise and in
InCider/A+ magazine up until a month or two ago, I was seeing an ad for
a "GSterio" [sic] card for somewhere around $32 mail order. I do not know
what brand it is, that's the only name I can remember and I think it is the only
name given with the product.  It seemed that I always would notice this ad, but
I wasn't that interested in buying a stereo card and speakers at that time.
I think that Mr. Murphy (as in Murphy's Law) has struck again. Now that I am
interested in a stereo card, I can't seem to find that ad anymore, even in
my old back issues!
	
	If anyone has ANY information regarding this particular stereo card
or another very inexpensive (i.e. less than $50) stereo card, please MAIL
it to me as I believe other people wouldn't be interested in this. Even
information about building my own stereo card (not quad-card as was 
posted recently) would be helpful but I'd rather just buy a premade one.

	I think one of the other relatively inexpensive cards I found was
by Applied Engineering or some other big name company... But I saw that
in the mail order ads, one had "(digitizer)" or something similar after
its name, but sold for the same price as the one above it. Does the digitizer
one ALSO act as a stereo card? Even though I'm not that interested in getting
a digitizer, if it's FREE in this sense I might as well get it.

	If this card really did sell for $32 if my bad memory is correct,
I'd guess it cost less than $20 to make... And in bulk quantities could
probably be made for even $10 or less... Geez, you'd think Apple coulda
taken $10 off of their most likely huge profit and built in stereo for
a computer with such sound capability! Seems to me to be a big mistake.

	THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
