That rings true, many even low end Acer laptops have a line jack socket in which is unusual. I remember having to get an external USB sound card for my Dell Latitude D800 so I could record from line in. So it appears you lucked out there Tony.
Lucked-in Shirley? In that Mohammed can go to the mountain rather than lug the mountain downstairs...
It was a very cheap secondhand buy from that stall at the top of Norwich Market - it has a pre-loved (and scored) screen replacing the broken one which was on it, and a new battery, and had a semi-working corporate version of XP Home. (Won't play with installing some software packages - though: Photoshop 7 and IIRC, Pagemill.)
I wish I'd replaced that XP Home with my (never used!) XP Pro - now I have Squeeze on the same machine, I understand it's not a sensible thing to try to install the better version of XP...
Never mind - I'm throwing together a fast and powerful midi tower with a caddy for different OSs.
