You can get some nice USB headsets that simply come with a USB plug

I've just taken the plunge with a f14 upgrade. Almost everything seems
sensible. One
rather annoying oddity is the behaviour of thunderbird with links in emails. It
detects that they are links (by colouring them and the cursor change on
mouse-over)
but when I click, nothing happens.
