Firstly, can I just repeat again that we have a specific group set up for the discussion of all things Apple. Please consider joining this if you need to discuss Apple topics. There are a number of members who don’t have any Apple interest, and it seems odd if there is an aversion to segregation.
Remember that the iMac and the iPhone are two quite different beasts. Also, what’s the problem using a Bluetooth® or USB headset? Nobody is forcing you to use the analogue interfaces. ================================================= My compliments and kindest regards Gordon Smith: <gor...@mac-access.net> Accessibility & Information Technology Support Specialist..
