I like my Audigy, but the drivers were a BITCH to install (or, rather, to
update), and yes that is a contextually-appropriate use of profanity.
Driver installation aside, it works beautifully in Win98.  I've heard it's
buggy in WinXP, though.  (In my case it was replacing a Turtle Beach
Montego, so almost anything would have been an improvement.)
