    "We don't use mics with the kids BUT I do have a few spiffy mikes for my tutorials: * H2 Zoom external mic * I have a Plantronics computer mic headset with sound canceling capability (there was a goofy photo of me wearing it in yesterday's presentation). It was included in my MacSpeech Dictate [voice recognition software] purchase a couple of years ago. I like it a lot, but as I said, it looks ridiculous on camera. * Finally I have a very spiffy Shure wireless mic with a CountryMan headset - It is a very expensive setup - usually used for stage performers. We wrote a grant for that."
