Now why didn't I ever think of something like that? I had this old 
headset-mic thing that I got for free with an old computer, but I never 
bothered to try it because it was too much trouble to mess around with 
the connections behind the computer.

Of course, the USB handset is nice, too. Now if only I could get that 
$#%%& SkypeOut to work. (Regular Skype-to-Skype is working fine now.)
