i made a diy battery box and encased it in a radio shack project box, but i like your design better because the project box is just too bulky to carry around. well, that and my friend decided we should put a big red button switch on it so it sorta resembles a bomb detenator. getting caught sneaking gear in is one thing, but now my biggest fear is having to explain why i have this sketchy device on me. anyhoo, question for the floor: how long (approximately) does your 9v battery last? do you put a new one in before each show?

http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/ptech/10/24/a...reut/index.html right on cue! it's kinda funny. one of my friends is a hardcore applehead. apple everything, but even he said apple doesn't care about existing customers. they only care about potential customers. if you bought their product, they're only interested in what you have to say if you're going to buy another one...or a replacement.

i bet apple's figured it out already before sony that the MD's a recorders market and not the same as ipod. if sony drops the MD, they're opening the door for apple to just add a recording feature onto the ipod and then it's bye bye rest of the market share for sony. that would be so wrong, and yet despite being a loyal MD user since '97, i'm so frustrated with sony being so out of touch with the MD community that i want to say they deserve it. i feel like my relationship with the MD is like a marriage full of ups and downs. you love it so but you hate the in-laws. now with sony chasing a piece of the ipod pie, i feel like it's having an affair behind my back. damn you sony! why do you make it so hard for us to love you *raging fists*
