I have an iXPS. I have a small hole above my numlock key, is that a mic as well? Or am I just too hopeful?

I have a 9100 and I noticed the little hole above my numlock LED as well. I tested it out and it is a mic. So chances are anyone with a litlte hole above the numlock LED has a mic.

You can test it out by opening up Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Entertainment --> Sound Recorder and press record.

It did seem to be a bit quiet for my tastes, so its probably not the best mic you have ever used :P
