Is there a program that would let me take notes and record lectures at the same time? How do you record things with the built in mic?

I haven't played with it yet, but the 17" PB ships with a program called OMNI Outliner, that's supposedly good for putting together outlines and notes. You should be able to record w/ one of the many audio apps out there, but I think you'll find that you really need an external mic of some sort. Check out minidisco.com for a selection of cool, small microphones designed for field recording.

check out NoteTaker from aquaminds. i haven't used the voice memo stuff, but that might work for you.

I thought that this thing had an internal mic under the speaker grill?
I used to record lectures with a mini disc player and condenser mic.
I guess I am hoping for some software that would let me record with the laptop and then keep an archive of notes and lectures.
OMG typing on the 17" is great!
