incompatibility??</title></head><body>
<div><font size="-1">Hello, Colleagues,</font></div>
<div><font size="-1"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="-1">My G4 desktop and my neighbor's G5 desktop does
NOT have a built-in mic. Okay. So I need an external mic in. On the
back of both machines is an Audio In Port. But what impedance does it
like??!</font></div>
<div><font size="-1"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="-1">I bought a $20 Radio Shack multi-media headset.
It works fine a (hush) PC, but doesn't work on either of our Macs?
Whazzup with that?</font></div>
<div><font size="-1"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="-1">As Freud asked of women, I ask of Apple:
"What do you want?"</font></div>
<div><font size="-1"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="-1">Do any of you use a headset? I want to use it
with iChat, Skype, and to record a few sound bytes for various
projects. Hi-fi in these cases not needed.</font></div>
<div><font size="-1"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="-1">Do I have to buy an adapter? Something like a
phono pre-amp? Wha-?</font></div>
