It just occured to me that we haven't done a CRAP (Completely Random & Pointless) Poll this month. Of course, that makes us wonder: do we
actually /need/ a new CRAP Poll every month? What if I were to run an
/old/ CRAP Poll? Or just none whatsoever? And, seeing as we are just a
few days from the start of a new month, is it too late to do one now
and should I just wait a week? Or maybe I should stop rambling and
just get to the CRAP Poll finally? Questions, questions, questions!
-----------------------
Congratulations! You own a computer and are just about to play a game.
You've got the PC, the monitor, the mouse, the keyboard... but do you
have speakers? More to the point of this poll, what SORT of speakers?
1) A custom, high-end, room-filling, Dolby Surround
Sound system. With more speakers around me than most
people have fingers. Probably with $1000 gold-wire
cabling too. Only the best for my ears!
2) A good set of 7.1 or 5.1 speakers.
3) Your usual 2-speaker system, maybe not the best
but still sounding good
4) The cheapest 2-speaker system you can plug into a
3.5" jack
5) The sound comes from my TV
6) Like 5, except I have a sound-bar attached
7) Whatever it is my laptop uses
8) I'm using headphones
9) I'm still using that tiny 1-bit piezo-electric beeper
on my motherboard
10) I output the sound to a graph and interpret the
audio visually. ;-)
11) I'm deaf, so either I don't have any speakers or -
if I do - only my neighbors could tell you.
-----------------------
Me, I'm currently at option #2, having switched to a Logitech 5.1
system some years back. It's not the best sound quality(especially
given the poor placement of speakers) but it gives some nice surround
and the subwoofer is powerful enough to annoy the neighbors, so I'm satisfied. Years back I used to have a proper 7.1 hooked into a really
nice stereo system, but had to give it up due to space requirements.
And - of course - that's only what I use on my primary PC. My 'backup'
uses HDMI to output to the TV's (rather tinny) speakers, and my older
Win98 computer has some really PC speakers plugged into it. But those
get such limited use that they really don't count.
What's on your computer?

I'm using the same five speaker system I've had for, um, I don't know
how many years. So #2. Except when its #8.

I have a *Cambridge Soundworks* system--two OK speakers on my desk and a sub- woofer underneath, It's been that way for years.

Is it a good speaker?

Yes! YES!!!! Finally, /finally/ somebody selects the joke option I've
been putting into these polls for years!
I've been waiting so long. Thank you for making my day. ;-)
