[G4] Sound and other concerns

[Eric Buczynski]

Yeah, it doesn't make sense that they would call the model a "Digital  
Audio" yet not include any sound input.  Good thing they didn't  
codename a Mac "fast computer", or "Stable Mac".

For sound input, I use a Griffin iMic.  It's a little puck-shaped USB  
device that has a switch for both recording and sound input, and it  
doesn't require drivers.  It gets the job done.  If you're looking  
for anything beyond that, try the M-Audio line of interfaces.  They  
have USB and Firewire type devices with XLR, RCA, 1/4", and 1/8"  
inputs.  If you're looking for studio-grade components, the Mark of  
the Unicorn (MOTU) brand should fit the bill, but they're also $$.
