So. Very. Annoyed.

Sep 12, 2006 21:22

Today I bought a set of headphones with a microphone attached. I plugged them into my desktop when I got home. The headphones are awesome. The mic doesn't work. Apparently I need an adapter for it to work with a Mac. And there's me thinking something as basic as a microphone port would be vaguely universal. My laptop doesn't even have a microphone ( Read more... )

whinge, real

doesn't everything just suck?! I am so hating on it all right now. so i'll swear a bit with you.

Fuck fuck fucking shit. What a piece of crap. Fucking microphone bollocks.

Yes. It all sucks. It sucks big hairy ones. Big hairy bollocking bollocks.

Thank you for your swearing solidarity! Makes me slightly happier. Also I'm listening to angry girl music, so that's good too. :)

Oh Maidrienne! No microphone for the Maccys just doesn't seem fair :(

However I am eating chocolate in Switzerland on your behalf as we speak and if that doesn't appease the gods then I don't know what will. Mmm... Lindty goodness...

Did you see my posty? I will be back quite soon and we can have lots of silly fun : ) Can't wait to see you!

It's SO unfair!! I'm going to have to go back to the shop now and hassle them! Things could've slotted into place so nicely, but noooo. *sigh*

Phwoar. Definitely eat extra for me. Nummmm. I have Haigh's chocolate frogs in my bag though, thanks to hecticred, so I'm chocced up and happy in that department!

Did I see it? Did I ever!! There must be beachy picnics. :)

Wait... desktop? Do you have a Mac desktop too? AND IT DOESN'T HAVE AN AUDIO INPUT EITHER???
What was Apple THINKING???

Actually... I'm not sure what you're talking about now that I realise this is about a desktop computer. However, I am painfully aware of the lack of audio input on an iBook. :P

eledhwen_20 September 13 2006, 00:30:27 UTC

Yeah, I'm talking about both the desktop AND the iBook. The desktop has what I assume is an input port, but having looked up the logitech site it says something about the port not being powered in a Mac, where it is powered in a PC.

NOWHERE on the packaging of the headset, though, does it say anything about system requirements or the fact that it will only work on a mac with an adapter. Update later - I'm going back to the shop at lunchtime. *sigh*

*sigh*
Yeah, I already spent $35 on the headset - I dunno that I'm prepared to spend another $69, as appealing as the thing is. :(
