See, I’m a trendy twentysomething and I hang out with all of the other metrosexuals with nothing better to do at the Gateway Apple Store trolling for whatever it is I troll for, and I was inspired by the artful design of some speaker set designed by a European with a name I cannot pronounce from a country I didn’t know existed. I want to hook it up to my (shhhh…) Dell laptop, but it is running Windows XP. I didn’t realize that even though the audio out jack thing that looks like a headphone plug needed Windows Vista to be compatible with these EuroFab ButtPlug Bass Thump Pro speakers, even though it looks like it should just plug in. Thanks Microsoft for enlightening me!
