Another thing that's getting hard to find

Headphones.

Sometime last year, I bought a pair of headphones for use with my computer. The ones I picked up at Staples were nice enough that I thought "I should get a pair of these for work when it's time." They even had an adapter for the full-size headphone jack I'm using because, being a crotchety old guy, I have my computer plugged into my home stereo tuner/amp instead of using those powered "computer speakers".

Well, it's time. So I wandered down to Staples only to find: no headphones. It's all headsets now. I don't want a microphone, I just want headphones.

And don't talk to me about earbuds. They aren't comfortable and don't sound good.
