Any ideas on them would be appreciated. - I was at a friends house and was very impressed by the audio and bvideo combinations he produced with his Commodore Amiga computer hooked up to his stereo. Are there cards for a pc that will enable similar use of sound? If so, what are they called (what would one look for in a store if they were going to buy one)? - Is there a way to hook up a pc so that it can control various items in the house (ie. turn on and off lights)? - Is there a way to run your pc with a VCR and save what is on your screen (assuming the correct VCR/PC wiring)? What graphics levels can you save with a VCR? Pete -- Peter P. Donohue ppd491@albny1vx.bitnet . "Education is a journey, ppd491@leah.albany.edu . not a destination..."
