If you have a decent cassette player, than it can be as simple as purchasing an appropiate cable to run the cassette deck to your computer's sound card input, such as this cable:
You can use Windows built in sound recorder, but a better choice would be to download the freeware, open source Audacity. I've also seen second hand high end cassette decks at thrift stores such as Goodwill from about $10.-$15.
Another low-fi option would be something similar to what robsouth mentioned, a USB Portable Cassette to MP3 Converter for about $21.
