Peter:

I have a question.

I have a two year old HP MEDIA CENTER PC, all bells and whistles.

It has Windows XP.

It has stuff on the front of the tower that I have no idea what these things are for, and I don't expect I'll need to know any time soon. I believe they are for camcorder hookups or digital cameras. I have neither. I do use a webcam and upload videos to youtube so I do KNOW SOMETHING. lol

It has all these slots for Smart/Media/sD
MMC/sd
CompactflashI/II
Memory Stick/PRO

So what are these things??

Also it has three holes,
green, pink, and green, and the third one has a little icon of headphones on top (now this is on the Tower).

Now how come there's a place to put headphones, when I already have headphones attached to the monitor?? We always keep headphones because my computer is up against a wall and at night when Alan goes on, he can listen to music and watch videos and no one next door is disturbed.

So why is there a headphone jack on the monitor, and another one on the computer tower??

I'm going to take a photo of this, so you can tell me what all these slots and holes are.

Here's the whole front of my tower.



and here's the closeup of the three holes that I have no clue what they are (except for the headphone jack).



thanks so much if you can tell me what these things are.
