2 Logitech USB Desktop Microphones have been bought to function as hearing for SirBones.

There are now 4 USB devices in SirBones, and there will be a 5th later on.

I bought a non-working fruit machine on eBay, for not lots of money. I'm sure most people have bought something silly or different from eBay at one time or another.
