"are there any recomendations under 199.00 and SIMPLE"

Are you limited to USB only, or do you have firewire available?

If you have it, firewire is a better "way to go".

If you must use USB, check out the Presonus "Audiobox":

If you have firewire, I'd recommend the Echo "AudioFire4" (it's a little more than $200 new, however).

There is a good primer on interfaces in the "digital audio" forum right here on MacRumors.
