Is it possible to have the MD circuitry contained in a heavy-duty durable, waterproof (or at least water resistant) container, with some sort of "shocks" inside this container (the electronics would be housed by an internal container--a box within a box), that would be able to effortlessly keep things running through bumps and dips, and at the same time, not hinder the operation of the unit? Thus, you would have the "Sport" variety of the MD-Walkman. Maybe something from Disney's labs... some gelatinous ooze that fluidly goes with the motion of whatever/whoever is carrying it (car/person/jogger/etc.) that is about the consistency of molasses but moves a bit quicker to account for shocks or jolts? I mention these ideas in terms of a purely mechanical device of a cassette-player compared to the mostly electronic device of an MD-player. With one of those aforementioned setups, the MD player would hold up just as well as the cassette player -- maybe even better! -steve <- actively going against the "->" mob :-) Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Kiran Wagle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (bcc: Steven Brooks/HOME_OFF/AGLIFE) Subject: Re: MD: Strange quotes [snip] I'm dead serious. Let's make a little test where we put an MD boombox and Cassette boombox in the back of a pickup truck and then drive around pot-holed and dusty streets for a few weeks. Make sure both stay out through a rain shower or two. Then we'll see how well each one operates. Do you have really think the MD equipment will fare better?
