YOU'RE NOT KIDDING!! It absolutely baffles me that is so hard to find an MD
boombox that runs on batteries. Doesn't it also make sense they would make
a boombox that was a player-only, to reduce the cost? It is obvious that
none of the manufacturers think of boomboxes as extra units people use to
take places and not their primary home machine. I think it's cool they make
multi-speed dubbing boomboxes but really, is that necessary?
Sigh...this is so ridiculous.

| Hi Rick,
|
| You may be right. I assumed that since Sony's press release called the
| ZS-M35 a "portable" unit, it would be battery powered. If it's not, the
| marketing geniuses at Sony need to have their collective noggins examined
| for calling an AC-powered stereo a portable unit. Or maybe it comes with a
| veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry long power cord. ;-)
|
| I ask again, just to hear the sound of my own whinig: Why hasn't Sony made
a
| real U.S.-spec battery-powered boombox? Am I the only person in the world
| who enjoys listening to ambient music at the beach, in a hotel room, by
the
| pool, etc? This really is unforgivable. MD was introduced eight years ago
| - -- surely the format is mature enough for a product I would have
expected by
| the third generation. It really is a no-brainer.
|
| Take care,
|
| Dale
