decent compact mixer

Hi folks,
any suggestions on nice sounding compact mixers (4-8 mic inputs)? Main uses will be as a sub mixer or for on location recording. I want it simple and sturdy. No fancy routing needed. I've been surfing the net a bit, finding very few alternatives. My budget for this project is in between the Spirit M series and TL Audio 's Tubetracker, that is roughly $1000-$3000.

Recording On A Laptop

Okay,

So I picked up a Apple G3 Laptop that has 1 firewire port. two usb ports and a line in and line out.

Already had a version of Emagic Logic on the machine. I have a peavey mic and a compressor.

How do I record to the laptop?

For Midi I bought something that handles that pretty well. Just need to know how to get audio in and out and at a good level!
