Headphones

Amazing, the swedish apple store dont sell the old Apple Lanyard Headphones, the ones that fits in both Apple 1st generation and 3rd generation. And I cannot buy it from the US Apple store either, they just don’t let you to do so. So at the end I reverted to EBay and I found a nice offer from buyitloveit.com($12 + $6.5 shipping). That’s halft the price listed on the Apple Store ($39.00) and they are new not used. The ebay description said that the packaging was damaged but the only thing I could find was a sticky mark on the top of package. And it only took one week to deliver from UK to Sweden. Nice.

My Compaq Evo has two internal speakers, the PC speaker (the one responsible for beeps, etc) and another conventional loudspeaker connected internally to the sound board. One would expect that conecting the headphones to the headphones jack will automatically shut off/disable the internal speaker but it doesn’t. You must first go to the Volume Control at System -> Preferences -> Volume Control and then click Edit->Preferences and enable the Headphone Jack Sense checkbox. I wonder why it is not enabled by default.
