Is this the same Creative that makes the speakers also? No wonder I just got an e-mail from them saying they would sell me some FPS2000 speakers for $50 off the price.

 

[Rich]

Si! They are the same.

They are just repeating what Creative says on their webpage..

Anyone else go to www.creaf.com to get to Creative Labs, or am I just old school?

 

[bluemax]

Nope. I'm a creaf guy too. Been at it too long, I guess.
No wait... I KNOW I'm oldskool...
