I wondered about Audacity, because when I took a look at it the
problem was the Mac version wasn't very stable.  But many people
said it had improved a lot in the last year, and the features are very good.

What did you get as a microphone?  A few months ago I saw
reviews of the Samson C01 USB microphone a couple of places. 
The macintouch review concluded:

"We weren't sure what we'd get with a product this innovative at a
price this low, but the Samson C01U lived up to the high expectations 
set by its specifications and description. If you need to record 
high-quality audio into your Mac on a tight budget, this is a great solution. "

Street price is $79.95.  They also said, "a Griffin iMic may look cheaper 
than the C01U, but it's not in the same league sound-wise, and you have 
to buy an additional mic to go with it (despite its confusing moniker)."
