Today my Computer Science team and I went to another competition in another city, and the bus ride takes about two hours each way... two other people had portable CD players and were enjoying themselves, while I stared into space.
So today, when we returned, I went to Walmart and got a Philips AZT9240 portable CD player with CD-R/RW capability and a radio tuner. Very nice.
While I was at it, I bought a package of four rechargeable Alkaline AA batteries, with a recharger.
Tomorrow or some other day I'm gonna buy a "car kit", which includes a DC adapter for the cigarette plug, and a CD-to-tape converter. Since I already have a carplug-to-AC converter from another purchase a long time ago, this will also allow me to listen to it using regular household voltage.
Hehe, just wanted to share my happy news with y'all.
edit: Prices: the portable CD player - $70; recharger - $10; 4-pack batteries - $7. With tax, this was about $96. The car kit costs $20, but is quite useful, since my car only has a tape player.
