[WriteLog] Using writelog with Dell Laptop

Thu Nov 2 15:15:06 EST 2006

Be careful, many Dell laptops have a monaural mic input and are NOT stereo. 
In addition, the Heil headset microphone plug is MONAURAL unless it has been 
modified by someone. I cannot understand why a microphone (two conductor) 
would have a stereo plug in the first place. Your mileage may vary, but 
unless the particular laptop in question has a stereo mic input the Heil mic 
plug should be compatible.
