[access-uk] Re: VISTA and recording with GoldWave

Hi, all I can feel on the top of the screen are about four rubber things. I don't know what they do; they probably support the screen when it's upright. However, down the side of the screen I feel a rubber strip. Could any of these contain a microphone inside it? Just curious as I do not recall the specs stating it has a built in microphone. Curious minds wants to know <smiles>. Thanks!
