one of the design goals of a boombox is "rugged". It'd have to be a pretty pricey hard drive /slug /sb / speaker combo to survive a spill out of the back of the car into the parking lot :) To me the mobility is only required for moving from room to room or backyard... important thing is that it's all in one box so you can carry it around. -- Jack Coates At Monkeynoodle Dot Org: It's A Scientific Venture!
