10/16/12--Advanced Hardware


To be completely honest, what is a website without sound? While many websites in the antique days of dinosaur cellphones and dark green Izuzu's were completely static, unentertaining, and bland, Rent-a-cat will be completely different. With its modern, up-to-date technology, my website promises not only the newest features to draw customers in, but also the most entertaining features.

If we're putting it bluntly, a website without sound is a cat without a meow: it simply isn't right. That's why, when you log onto Rent-a-cat, you're promised the utmost of high quality service by supplying you with the meows of the cats that are your potential new soulmates.

While some people say that they cannot stand the sound of a dog's barking, meowing can be just as intolerable. That's why, for each cat offered to you through our careful sorting process, a sound bite with the exact meowing is given as an option over your computer.

So how is this done? It "sounds" complex, but let me explain it to you: a list of recorded and precise numbers are read from CD or hard drive and sent over the
computer’s internal bus to the soundcard. The sound card contains a DAC – digital-to-audio converter that moves an electrical voltage up and down to match the numbers. The (amplified) electrical voltage goes down the wire and causes the
diaphragm of the speaker to move. The movement of the speaker diaphragm causes waves of compression that travel through the air to your eardrum.

Those waves traveling to your ears through your computer speakers are the meows.

To be exact, it's the "cat's meow!"
