Any Skype Headphone Suggestions?

Been looking into this, as I'm starting to use Skype a bit for various Dot Com Thousandaire projects.

Here's an example, the Plantronics CS60. Nice looking.

Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plantronics-CS60-Wireless-Headset-System/dp/B00080H5TQ/ref=pd_sbs_ce_1/026-8763915-2703622
£72 + P&P

TelephonesOnline.co.uk
http://www.telephonesonline.co.uk/_pc_headsets.asp?SortField=PriceWithDiscount&SortDescending=1
£259 + P&P - and that's with a £70 saving. Jesus!

Eh? Hold on.

Amazon says it's from Ligo Electronics. A quick google, and they're selling it direct for... £139 + P&P.

How does that work?


Anyone got any suggestsions?

Spooky Music Goings On

I'm still recovering from the disaster that was moving my music from the C: to the Y:, with the simultaneous renaming of about 10% of my files into the same name as another song, and the dumping of about 30% into folders they don't belong to (eg, putting about 40 albums into "Various Artists", even though the tags are very accurate - even now - about who the artist is).

Never mind, back to the point.

I've just seen three tracks (normally it's only two) with the same tag for the title, the same filename, in the same folder.

Bedshaped by Keane.

So what I normally do is listen to a song, and if I don't recognise it, I hunt down the lyrics and rename the tags. Sod renaming all the files. That just causes more problems, trust me.

But .. hold on.. all three songs sound the same. Just the rest of the Keane album.

Co-incidence?

Or signs of taste in Windows Media Player?

The decision is yours...

Update for Registerfly users...

You’ve probably heard about the Registerfly debacle.

The end is in site. All domains are now being transferred to GoDaddy. (More on this in a moment).

For now, if you go to https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/transfers/welcome_registerfly.asp?ci=9188

You can get your new GoDaddy account details emailed to you. All you need to have is your domain name which was held by registerfly. Godaddy have set up one account per registered email address, from what I can see, so if you have lots of domains at Registerfly, you might need to check that the first account you create at GoDaddy does actually contain all the domain names you are expecting it to have.

Oh. And give it time. The emails with my account details took about 10 minutes to arrive.

Now, the issue with GoDaddy is that they have a VERY strong response to what’s seen as spamming. They will disable domain names and charge you $160 (I think) to get it back. Be very careful.
