I have a 15" G4 powerbook (fall04 model).

I have an iSight camera -- and was aware that RAT probably wouldn't 
recognize the sound-in from it (since RAT doesn't hear the mike from the 
PC's logitech camera's mike).

Since I have only a line-in port and the "Internal omnidirectional 
microphone" - I'm assuming I face the same constraint (need a powered mike).

Will RAT recognize (hear) sound if I use a powered mike with the iSight? 
If not, I have a couple of days to return the iSight (apple customer 
support says 10 days from purchase - no questions asked).
