About speakers: Several years ago I purchased a PCMCIA copy of KeyNote for my laptop. It came with a small, battery powered speaker that could produce very nice sound. It was a PulseData product. I wonder if there are any of those speakers in a storeroom there in NZ collecting dust? Or, perhaps you have a record of the model number and the name of the company who manufactured them? There are times when a speaker would be helpful.
