361674 2005-06-06 08:53:00 So Apple is about to go switch to Intel... www.theregister.co.uk

Anyway question. I hate the fact that Macs/Apple do not have a mic in jack...grrr.
I'm back working with Apples in my new job. Does anybody know of an inexpensive USB adaptor for a standard pc mic?
I had read that a PS2 USB adaptor for some music popstar game works well. I want a simple adaptor that will work with a $15 to $30 headset. Dick Smith guy hadn't head of such a device.

I'm also having to learn to manage an O/S X server (Panther) with O/X clients.
So if anyone can point me to a good web site or good book, I forward thee a cheers.

Our gateway... Linux is also dying... suggestions on a replacement?
The e-mail server is also a bit dodgey... SME I think.

Great way to start a new job eh... all gone to custard.

361675 2005-06-06 10:30:00 what mac are you using \? because mine has mic in, as well as a built in one. You are probably better going to your local apple store or reseller or try totallymac (www.totallymac.com) or macwarehouse (www.macwarehouse.co.nz)
As for Apple using Intel, well I'll bite my own ass off if that happens, although I do believe they use some sort of Intel controller in their xserves

w00t W00t, Plod, Be a sport and use your mic to record the howls of pain as you bite your own ass off after the official announcment.

Then post the sound file on here.....

Apple stopped putting line-in ports on many Macs for a short period of time in the late nineties. I am not exactly sure when they dropped them (a rough guess would be 99-ish). They returned in the Rev B iMac G4s. My Rev A iMac doesn't have a line-in, which is a bit of a hassle, but if I am desperate I can use my PowerBook. :)
