I didn't say laptop, I said "computer." You dragged the entire desktop PC, including the 50 lb CRT monitor, across the house to the hi-fi system (or vice-versa), and you liked it!

(Edit: you do realize I'm talking about using the computer to record to a cassette tape and then playing the tape in the car, not hooking a laptop up directly to your car stereo, right?)

    I had the little CD to cassette tape adapter, I also drove around with a laptop in the passenger seat plugged into the aux port, which quickly turned into a cheap mp3 player.

    I was an early adopter of the portable "MP3-CD" player (and a late adopter of the portable CD player in general, because that's the first I ever owned). That, the radio, and commercially-bought cassettes were the only ways I played music in my car as a teenager.

    The point is, though, I was responding to the previous comment about "the hassle of burning a cd of mp3s and then recording the cd onto a cassette tape." I know there were other ways to do it, but I wasn't discussing them.
