A quick google brings up some kind of opera. Thus, my research has led me to believe that Donfede is an opera officianado, a analyst of the operatic arts and he also plays battlefield 2.

what kind of headset are you using? I am looking for a new headset and I"m not sure I want to drop $150 on a set of psyko audio kryptons.

I'm going with music history teacher. Also, he's a very sensitive man and cries a lot, which is pretty clear by the box of tissue on the desk within arms reach.

You tell me you don't cry listening to Tristan und Isolde? or Les Troyens?

Yeah, I know the opera. It's Verdi.

But it's a bit out of place on these forums, and not the sort of thing that most people do presentations on.

C'mon, Don, what's the deal? Are you the recording secretary of the East-Side Opera Society?

Cheers,

I vote for Don listening to Wagner operas along with Germans goose-stepping in the background! LOL

Maybe he's working on a BF2 Utube, and it's making him laugh so hard he cries?
Who knows....

Presentation was for classes (I'm an IT professional, trying to finish up my studies: in music, and computer science). Alas, that's where I was last weekend (instead of getting frags)... on the upside I scored well

.

True per my being an opera aficionado -- though maybe more correct to say I'm all around music slut (classic, punk, blues, hip-hop, reggae, classic-rock).

Headset is a Plantronics, I believe model 355. I paid too much, getting it at staples (additional $15 for instant satisfaction). It sells at newegg for ~$20. It sounds good enough, as does its microphone, and it has analog connectors (so no USB head-aches [trying to get things working with a 2005 game]). Best of all, there is room on the sides to add Rank Stickers

... can't wait to shed those sargeant stripes :

# mine
Newegg.com - PLANTRONICS .Audio 355 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Stereo Headset

# some others, more fancy (mine worked just fine for me)
Newegg.com - PLANTRONICS .Audio 655 USB Connector Circumaural Stereo Headset

Newegg.com - PLANTRONICS .Audio 995 USB Connector Circumaural Digital Stereo Headset

Nice one bob

... alas, the box of tissues is on the Better-Half's side of the table... I think she had a cold or something ... general house mess

.

Nothing like Deutsch to bring fear into the hearts of everyone. Even if one doesn't know it (yet) -- They Fear The Germans! ACHTUNG!!! Alas, I'm a Mediterranean, and fall for the romantics - thus Verdi and Rigoletto for now.

best,
donfede
