Getting the mic to work on a Thinkpad?

[Peter Simpson]

last time I had this difficulty, the problem was a "duplex" setting on your 
mixer of choice.

Could this be your problem - I had it on a T20.

Cheers,

... C++ offers even more flexible control over the visibility of member
objects and member functions.  Specifically, members may be placed in the
public, private, or protected parts of a class.  Members declared in the
public parts are visible to all clients; members declared in the private
parts are fully encapsulated; and members declared in the protected parts
are visible only to the class itself and its subclasses.  C++ also supports
the notion of *_______friends*: cooperative classes that are permitted 
to see each
other's private parts.
