Tech-tarded

< SIGH >

I'm working at my desk, right?  I want to hear some music,
right?  So I figure I'll download my Beatles disc onto my MP3 player
and listen to it that way, since my stupid computer speakers won't
work, right?  So I start ripping the music, and I notice Windows Media
Player is playing the first track.  "Fine.  Play away," I tell it.  "It
won't do any good."

Then (for some stupid reason), I think I'll try using my headphones and see if I can hear anything from that output.

AND -- I DO!

But, when I unhook the headphones, I still don't hear anything out of the speakers.

???

Argh!
