The laptop's inbuilt speakers have no such problem, so it's clearly
an issue with the shielding. (Speakers are borrowed; not mine.)
I have a Creative 2.1, havent had any sound shielding issues with it,
i have 2 mobile phones, a TDMA router and a shortwave radio in the

I'm wondering if there's a way to set-up a common pool of RSS feeds, say for
Silk List.
We all upload our OPML to it and look at what we all read. Might make for an
interesting repository, if it can be done.
