Hi, I use a clip on unit when I rarely use skipe and it was £6 from amazon and was not even the cheapest. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ken Reid Sent: 15 June 2011 13:39 To: Access List Subject: [access-uk] Freestanding microphone Afternoon all, I am considering entering the world of Skype, and am just looking at what I'll need. I currently use external speakers on my desk top PC, rather than those built in to my monitor. This saves me having to power on the monitor in order to hear what Jaws is saying. Can I also get an external microphone to plug in somewhere? If so, what should I be asking for, and any guesses how much I'll need to pay? Thanks for any and all suggestions. Ken
