What? That's ridiculous. Today's Mac still need the pre-amp mic likes
the plain-talk mic of the Old-World-Mac? Unlike its major competitor
Windows machines, to which you can connect any karaoke mic, or the
line-out from the Hi Fi, TV, Karaoke, etc. That's more convenience,
shame on you Mac!

Are these true for the late 2008 model?
