Thanks for the replies, I'm not keeping up on my list subscrptions too well so
far this year! I'll read around a bit before deciding, although it sounds as
though the Blue Snowball may do me well enough for now. I'm not in need of UUK
podcast level gear for now!! I may have to get my Skype up and running again
(just been playing with that on my Dad's PC, but it appears that creating an
account now Microsoft is in charge is not working properly - I get told my
password is not correct in spite of knowing exactly what it is and resetting
it!). I'm assuming that a good number of popey's screencasts use this, so will
be representative of sound quality.
