Interestingly the microphone plugs into the pink socket on your pc.
How cute!!

I don't ask for much.
Now don't forget, when you go down to PC World/Dixons/Currys/Comet for you microphone, say the following:
"Hello I'm a luddite. Give me a microphone and a webcam, and be quick about it!"
Take them home, plug them in, follow the instructions on the screen. Place microphone in front of you, and the webcam on top of the monitor looking towards you.
Download Spontania (www.video4skype.com) and install.
Come and join the fun!
