GN Netcom

An odd question, I know, but has anyone ever used the GN 8110 USB^xp with their GN Netcom headset?

The Logitech gaming headset I purchased a while ago for WoW is just weak. I can hear others and game sounds with no problem, but whenever I try voice chat it's a mess akin to my social experience in middle school--and in life in general.

Now, my work experience with the GN Netcom headset at work has been really, really good so I figured that would translate to VOIP on my PC, right? I would hope so.

Anyone?

Four more years 'til the next one...

The next leap day Friday Seven, that is (not between posts)...

The Smiths - Girlfriend in a Coma
Tracy Chapman - Fast Car
Dire Straits - Walk of Life
Elton John - Rocket Man
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Nirvana - All Apologies
David Gray - Only the Lonely

What an odd assortment on my random list here. I do find it odd that David Gray recently appeared on The Torture Playlist.

Changes in your ranks:
1 place down, now #5 merriest
1 place down, now #12 best dancer
2 places down, now #12 most absentee
2 places down, now #15 hardest worker
1 place down, now #17 most attractive

So, I'm merry yet unhappy? Actually, I can definitely see that. I do have my mood swings that jump out of some sort of emotional singularity field that I generate around me.

Most absentee? Geez, I didn't realize my tendency to be distant was so obvious.

But best dancer? I wonder who's seen me dance? Is there some sort of Server Monkey YouTube dance video out there that I am unaware of? Unless, of course, someone counts WoW dancing. I do a lot of that.
