If you go the USB headset route (I use logitech ones) you can use Quick sound switch to choose which is the dominant output source before running a program to guarantee who gets which sound.

I had the same thing start happening to me last night, and then this morning AVG reported finding two files (generic icon files named setup.exe) with the Trojan horse Proxy.KOR .

One piece of good advice that I have read many times when people ask about which DSLR to buy - Go to the store and try holding the cameras and playing with the buttons.

I went and tried this when I was trying to decide between the D50 and the Rebel XT; I didn't like the feel of the XT, but the D50 felt like it was made for my hands.
