    Not sure why I stopped using it.

    I used it myself back in the early days of boxing. I think I stopped because of the dogs. One the dogs made to much noise, and two, they ate my mic. Wound up making one from an old rotary style telephone to use for Vent, and even that has long disappeared into the bin of tech crap.

    If you made a computer mic out of an old rotary telephone, I bow to your superior tech knowledge, sir.

    Heh, thanks but it really wasn't that hard. I can't believe I'm admitting to this, but back a few decades, when I was a teenager, I figured out how easy it was to simply drop a cable to the ear piece of a telephone speaker, so I could record those dirty phone calls in the backs of magazines. It was the same idea except instead of a speaker, I just used the Mic part of the phone.

    Never know what stupid crap you do as a kid, may lead to helping you out in the future. Next week, I'll discuss taking apart etch a sketches to get to the aluminum powder to make Thermite. :P

    It's very possible that's where I got the idea for the first phone thing, as that's about the time I started really noticing the Girls. I must have been about 12 or 13 when that movie came out, and you have to admit, that's pretty darned smart.

    This thread does bring to light another idea, With advances in Quantum computing, do you guys think we will ever see something akin to ansible communications being used on our accounts, or better yet, another look into such things as the old Body wave or that old emotive head set?

    Foot note for those not familiar with the term in SciFi Literature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansible
