John Deere Headset Won't Be Green

This is an update on my blog entry for Nov. 22, 2005, about a new noise-canceling headset from John Deere -- see "John Deere Releases a Noise Canceling Headset."

I raised the question whether the new headset will be John Deere green. Well, I have received an answer from the public relations firm for the headset maker and, sadly, the answer is no. "They initially made it a John Deere green color," the representative tells me, "but decided that they like the way the black one looked better."

Here's a preview of what the new headset will look like (notice the company logo):

Actually, now that I use my imagination a little, picturing myself driving around on a Deere-green tractor with Deere-green headphones, I realize that might look a little dorky. Black probably is better.
