Help Needed With Sinclair 1000

O.K. At least Now I know how to program. Not to get that annoying bar out
of there.

Iven if it is sort of a pain to program, it's still a neat little computer.
 Looks sort of like a mini CoCo 1.

Does anyone know what the "ear" and "mic" jacks are for (I know what
they're for, I just want to know WHY they're there). It's the only BASIC
machine I've seen with a MIC plug. Or is it to connect a tape deck to?
