I finally I got my replacement cable for my closed professional Full-Size Studio Monitor Headphones... away with the old sucky Sony 815R wireless headphones ... it's like a 100:1 difference when it comes to the bass, the volume and the crisp sounds...
And logistics pricing for this was "fun" :
- cable price: EUR 23,90
- transport expenses from Germany: EUR 15,00
- additional postage expenses by Austrian post: EUR 9,70
So almost 50% overhead costs - but you know what: it's worth it... forget those cheap things... these headphone rocked in 1996 when I bought them and they sound even greater after I was using the sucking Sony things for some months... - not talking about audiophileness - just listening to MP3s and such... 100:1

Dell has Incoporated Intel's Latest M Processor and announced that the latest version of the Intel Pentium M processor are now available in its corporate and consumer wireless notebooks, the the Latitude D800, Dell Precision M60 mobile workstation and the Inspiron 8600 can be configured with the fastest version of the new processors, the Intel Pentium M processor 755, featuring 2.0GHz processor speed, 2MB Level 2 cache and 400MHz front side bus.
A broad range of Dell notebooks can be configured with a variety of the new processors, including the Intel Pentium M processor 745, Intel Pentium M processor 735 and the Intel Celeron M processor 330.
"Businesses and individual consumers are choosing notebooks over desktop computer systems with increasing frequency. NBs allow users the flexibility to work outside traditional office environments on self-determined schedules and can actually extend the typical work week by a couple of hours," said Leslie Fiering, lead mobile analyst, Gartner.
Well, I am still very satisfied with my Dell 8600 1.5 Ghz / 1 GB from last september... did hardware innovations slow down a bit or was it just a bleeding edge order almost 9 months ago???
