Hmmm...interesting.  An entrance requirement for discussing the Mac.
Has Mac stopped being the machine for the rest of us?  Is it only
comprehensible by the Mac elite?  I've been a Mac SE owner for 3-4
years.  But apparently that experience counts for nothing against those
initiated into the deep dark secrets of the Mac.

I think the NeXT's built in audio equipment certainly played a factor in
Apple's decision to go with a mic. By the way, when will we see the DSP
chip come standard with a Mac?
