Do you mean the little beige plaintalk microphone? I don't think it'll fit in the newer iMacs, but I could be wrong. >Does anyone have any experience with USB mics?

It doesn't have the noise-reduction qualities of the better ones, but has MUCH better play-back sound than the Plaintalk ever did; one of the advantages of the USB mics is that they don't pick up the internal sounds of the computer.
