Turning off built-in mic on iBook?

[Larry Dersch]

Perhaps i wasn't clear enough in my original post.  That is what I 
meant by being able to turn it down, but not off.  Even with the slider 
in the "off" position, I'm getting a little input.  I can snap my 
fingers (or type loudly) and still see a reading on the input level 
meter.
