I'm willing to try something tomorrow night.  I think the audio input jack on 
my laptop work, though I haven't tried it.  I'll try to scrounge up a mic and 
record tomorrows meeting.

Can I get some recommendations for a way to record directly to ogg (or speex 
or mp3)?  I don't think I have room for a full wav file of the meeting, so 
I'd like to go directly to a compressed format.  I've never done that, 
either.  I'm willing to try to set it up tonight for tomorrow's talk, but I'd 
appreciate some advice.

Thanks,

Michael
