I see only Windows microphones -- looking for the type that are long
and slender sit on a stand. None for Macs?

You need to determine what model Mac and whether you need a mac
plainTalk Mic or a standard one.

PlainTalk mics have an extra-long phone plug and have a built in
pre-amp.  

Older Mac models may need this.

As long as it is a newer one (like within the last couple of years or
so) a standard mic should work.

Any USB microphone should work, such as

Most

standard microphones would need a pre-amp, since Macs with audio input
need line-level.  You could use the iMic

with a standard microphone, but the USB microphone is neater.  It is
probably low enough power to work from a keyboard USB port.
