Laptop as a recorder

["acontrol2002" <>]

I recently purchased an IBM ThinkPad which, I just discovered, has a
microphone input on the side. It also has an earphone jac. Taking
account the dangers of taking a Laptop into the wilderness, is it
possible to use my parabolic dish with microphone (Senheiser) to
record sounds? If so,how? How would I adjust gain, etc?

Thanks

Alan
