"Optical Out"?!

[chicken]

On the back of the iMac G5 (which my boss just purchased for me to use, last month, yay) above the headphone jack Apple has imprinted the phrase "Optical Out". HUH? Don't they mean "Audio Out"? Is this a typo, a joke, or me being stupid?

Yes, it does work as a headphone jack just fine. The "thingy" looks like the bottom one in your picture.

OH, and BTW, Kerri reminded me about your previous radiator troubles. Our radiators were just "bled" and now we finally have heat! Damn landlords.
