Audio CDs
=========
After many years I decided to find some of my old audio CDs and try to
listen them on a computer. I have relatively large collection of them.
Now I am running my SGI Indy with the external CD drive, reading Gopher
(with the Netscape 5) and listening the Yellow Submarine.
The Indy has just a tiny speaker under the front panel. But it seem
that it is good enough (it is at least better than 99% of ordinary
external speakers which people connect to their computers).
By the way, it seems that Logout [1] was right when he wrote some time
ago that the best form factor of workstations it the pizza box. I'm
thinking to move the Indy from its current position (it's outside my
desk) to the position under the monitor. It;s very convenient to have
both speaker and hardware volume control in front of me.
