Yes, it can be a bit tricky since the HP laptop I have is *not* wired the way the 4-conductor iPhone mic jack is wired, but instead is wired as shown here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01633145&lc=en&product=4033829&tmp_track_link=ot_search

Another approach is to use a usb sound card, like the Griffin iMic.

But it is hard to tell without knowing what type of new computer you got.

Subject: [Elecraft] TIP, RING,RING, Sleeve plug

Hi to the group

I had my computer go bad and replaced it this week end. I have everything 
working except my old computer had separate AF and MIC jacks. My new computer 
has a combined AF/MIC jack. I need to find that kind of plug so I can build an 
adaptor but I don't even know what it is called and where to get one. I would 
hope it is something Radio Shack sells as that is the only place I can get 
parts without paying big shipping charges.

73 and thanks for your help.
