I'm trying to make the "2" small for SO2.  Anyone know how to do it?????

I have a brand-new Think Pad with one port for the microphone / headphone.....and I can't get the computer to record from the microphone.....will only record from laptop speakers.  I just ordered a USB microphone for $300+, hoping that will solve it.  In the meantime, anyone else have this problem and know how to resolve????????????????

I've been doing work for an agency who now owes me $7,000+ going back almost a year.  I would hate for a reporter to take a job with this agency without being forewarned.....
