	cat a.wav b.wav c.wav d.wav >> e.wav

	You don't mention your motherboard, socket or CPU type, but I'm guessing
you're probably running a 150MhZ Pentium or Pentium Pro, Socket 7.  If so, I
believe you would probably be better off investigating a Celeron or AMD
system, both of which can be got pretty cheaply.  I run Linux at home on a
233 MhZ Pentium 2, a system which can be had for practically nothing
nowadays, and I have no complaints about speed.

	I have no idea.  However, I've heard some of the VAIO laptops have
extremely slow drive access times.  While this doesn't affect compatibility,
it is a severe drawback.  On the other hand, this may only affect the VAIO
subnotebooks, I'm not sure.
