Thanks Paul. Good minutes covering everything discussed.
Hope you don't mind me adding to some of the items in your minutes.
Re my new headset (model is Blackwire 3220), in terms of accessibility apart
from sounding quite good, I find it useful the fact they have a tectile remote
on their wire that allows to mute/unmute (useful in
meetings) and volume control.
