[WEB4LIB] using audio on public computers

[Nicholas Rosselli]

We opted to go with the extension cable (for reasons of
ease and cost) but if you want a more permanent solution I
like a product sold by cyberguys: 
http://www.cyberguys.com

It's a sound card extender that puts the line out,
microphone, and speaker jacks (plus a volume control!) on
the front of the pc.  You mount it in an unused 3.5" bay. 
They sell it for about $14.

Obligatory disclaimer: I don't work for Cyberguys, nor do I
have a financial interest in them - I've simply found them
to be an excellent source of low cost computer supplies.
