hi John - I also don't want to sound mean - but I found reasons to
be deeply disappointed in my fairly new Dell laptop, which was
purchased because it was a model that had a serial port, not to
mention vast tracts of screen space (Inspiron 8600).
I have been working on getting SO2R going for the first time for
the WW. This laptop does not have a "Line In" input, only a
microphone input - which is not stereo. Therefore, I have no way of
getting two sound channels into this laptop to run both radios....
My current solution is side-by-side laptops networked and each
running their own rig - barely have the space for that...
I think I am going to get one of those little desktop chassis boxes and
build up a shack system from scratch!

A much easier solution is to get a USB sound card, which has line in
and out. I have one from Creative with RCA connectors, which I trust
somewhat more than I do the common 3.5mm stereo phone connectors.
It's probably better quality audio, too.
73, doug
