Trust me. these folks live in a town of about 10 people in the middle of nowhere. boring isn't a problem.
I think this is what you are looking for:
http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=3697391
Its reasonably priced ~230USD as opposed to 600USD, and
it comes with 2 drives so copying is easy.
Also, it has a 4x high speed dub for the poor soul who will
be making the copies...
or if you want to spend more money for higher quality, here is another
Sony RCD-W2000ES - CD changer / CD recorder

Hope it works out for the elderly...
From the webpage:" Now you can Record your own CD recordings
and it's really easy. You don't need a computer...simpler to use
than a cassette recorder."

There - it looks like it is a CD-recorder and doesn't need a computer. But I am not sure if it doesn't, hence my asking in this thread. It looks to me like you could hook the microphone up to that and record directly to the CD (guessing that there is a ram buffer or something to hold the data in or whatever). The reason that this cannot rely on a computer is that it is for a small group that needs something as non-computerish as possible. If a computer glitch arises, there is nobody to fix it (at least not all the time). That being the case, the request was for something self-contained that would basically involve dropping a cd in and hitting record like you would with a tape player.
I know laptops and minidiscs are fine and dandy for this, that isn't at all what I asked
