Although not the only solution, do some research on FireWire Audio Interfaces.

If you get, for example, an M-Audio Firewire Solo, that will give you two simultaneous inputs. One to plug your guitar directly into (DI - direct input, which is good for playing with the various amp simulators and effects in GarageBand), and one to plug a professional microphone (into which you can sing or stick in front of your guitar amp speaker or acoustic guitar - or whatever).

There's loads on the market to choose from, and it's all you need to start making music. However, you need to be prepared to sit down and work over the "learning curve". Once you've cracked that, making music on GarageBand is a straightforward and rewarding experience. Certainly much more so than on a PC (IMO).

And yes, the Mac does "have a/d converter". The in- and out-audio jacks on any (I think) modern mac are both dual analogue/optical. Does that answer your question?
