Thanks Travis,
I had just assumed the Mini had the same set up as the mac book with
the headphone and mic as one jack. Hving the separated jacks will help as I
will probably be able to use the Olympus mic I have sitting here.
this mini is certainly a learning experience.
Any tips on doing the memory upgrade safely? Assuming the ram I have is the
correct ram I have 8 gigs sitting here I'd like to install.
