Apparently, you and I have the same PowerMac, FoggyMac.. there is no 
built-in sound input on this machine unfortunately (Apple really 
dropped the ball on this one)... you need to either get a sound card (I 
have an MAudio 410 PCI that I scrounged from an older machine) or a USB 
device such as Griffin Tech's iMic:

which works quite well I'm told.

As for recording the sound to your drive you have several options. I 
use Sound Studio and it has been a real workhorse for me:

...and though it does cost 50 bucks, there is a 14 day fully functional 
trial period.
