Found this great little program that costs only $15.00. It allows me to simply open the program, press record and begin recording interviews. You can use it with an attached or built in microphone.
I installed it on my office computer and my new laptop. This will be a great tool for me at this week's reunion. No more fumbling with tape recorders and batteries and then having to download files, etc. Now I can simply start the program and hit the record button.
Tried it this morning and it works like a peach. Very clear sound and the files are very, very easy to work with.
If anyone is interested in obtaining this great piece of software, try the link below. You can even download a trial.

Now I don't have to worry about trying to remember all the stories I hear. I'll have a permanent record.
