the actual product of stuff to go with the desktop line that aren't headphones may not be on the market yet, but the desktop line is here and ads like this do help get folks' heads around the idea of a Desktop system.

and it results in actually moving current Desktop product too, i think. last week i walked by a truck delivering a Headroom box here on Park Ave - Desktop-sized by my figuring. someone's office is a bit happier now i'd say

dont get me wrong, i get JPelg's issue with the "if no speakers to sell today, why is it in the ad today" thing, but i also get the "we need to get the word out on Desktops, even if the whole deal isn't out there yet" thing.

in the end, one more system where there is currently only a stapler and a tape dispenser is a good thing, no matter how it happens that guy is probably using a pair of powered monitors from Staples to drive it for now tho, hehe!
