How would you ever travel with a laptop if you're afraid to take it in the car? I don't *leave* my laptop in the car (well, actually, I do at work, but I wouldn't need to, I'm just lazy; I certainly don't overnight), and it cost me far less than some of the dedicated mp3-player things out there. What's more, if I bring my 802.11B card along, I can have music *and* networking... ;^> > Also, my goal with an mp3 player vs. cd player is no moving parts to > jostle while moving -- walking, bicycling or driving.
