[iBook] Ibook as Lecture Recorder?

[Alex Santos 100MB Neostrada Mail]

I use to have a Sony Walkman Pro and an external mic. As far as I 
remember, the walkman had a 0-20db switch on it and it made a huge 
difference in terms of recording distant sounds. The mic's angle or 
width of pickup was adjustable which also helped. The quality of the 
recording was nothing short of incredible, especially when used with 
Dolby C.
