Snowball mics for 49.99 at amazon

Winter came early here. I went out to get the mail today and found a snowball on my front step.

I have been playing around with it this afternoon and it is a huuge improvement over both my webcam and headphone microphones.

Amazon had it for 49.99 (only the white model) with free shippping, so I bit. Very impressed so far.

In case you want to check out the Snowball at amazon.com, here's the URL.

Grrr, Amazon.co.uk price is £69.99 which is about $100.
