Hi Harry

Two thoughts, off the cuff:

--Did you talk to the computer department or the audio department? For 
comparison you might call a place that specializes in audio. That might 
increase the odds that the frontline person answering the phone would 
have concise ideas. Offhand I would say you might have both wired 
options and things like infrared but the infrared might have line of 
sight issues: the signal would not pass through walls for instance.

--I know people do all kinds of things to wire their homes for audio 
and that there should be no reason you would not be able to have your 
computer be the sound source. I would not run wires along the floor; 
run them along a wall or ceiling so you don't trip over them. Beyond 
that I will leave to people who know what they are doing to spell out 
more details but maybe this gives you more ideas what to ask about.

Subject: [VICUG-L] an external speaker in another room to listen to my 
computer?

Hi all,
I have a laptop here in the livingroom, and like most folks on this 
list, I love to listen to audio on my laptop, such as games, music, 
etc.!
Well, I would love to be able to relax and listen to the computer in 
the bedroom, instead of having to sit out here in the livingroom all 
the time.  I want to leave the computer out here, and not move it.
So, do any of you have an idea on how I can do that?
I called Best Buy, and ABC Warehouse, and the only thing they told me 
was, "you're going to have to get a speaker with a cord on it and plug 
it into your laptop, and then, drag the speaker/cord down the hallway."
So, anybody have any ideas?
Harry
