Telex M 560 and iListen 1.6.4

[Donald MacCormick]

Hi All:

FYI, Telex recently discontinued the Telex M 560 USB Desktop 
Microphone. I believe there may still be some available from various 
resellers. You may want to check at <http://www.emicrophones.com>, if 
none there, try <http://www.microphones.com>.

Martin Markoe from eMicrophones.com may have other desktop microphones, 
but currently there are none available from MacSpeech.

On an unrelated, (mostly), note: all users of iListen 1.5 or greater 
can upgrade for free to iListen 1.6.4, (which was released on Monday), 
through:

Regards,

Donald
