One and all: Give your suggestions for a good quality, affordable interface for the beginners of the world.
I'm new to comuter based music production and I plan to run Logic Express 7 on a new iBook w/ 768mb of Ram. I need recommendations on audio interfaces with at least two input channels, including a good mic input as vocals will be a priority, hopefully under $500. This set up is to be used for demo song/sellable cd production; the focus however is to produce usable tracks for later studio additions. All suggestions are apreciated. Thank you.

For what it is worth. With the Presouns products you don't need drivers. I have the FIreBox and it uses the core audio frivers native to OSX. Good luck.
