Hello Michael,


Two additional reasons I bought it:

1. I thought it would be a lot lighter to carry on plane trips than my
CD-MP3 player. Only later did I remember that it might cause
interference with the aircraft navigation.


That would most likely bring the goons out. I doubt these things would
be good in terms of EMI. Come to think of it, I don't even have an MP3
player. Now I am feeling old...

I got a Philips CD-MP3 player from Target about a year ago for $40. (I
simply refused to pay more than $40 for an MP3 player.) I like its
ability to read CD-RWs...

Wal-Mart currently sells the same CD-MP3 player for about $35. (At
least, the Wal-Mart in Dixon did, as of last Sunday...)



2. In case of a nuclear strike against us, or equivalent catastrophe,
having a radio like this might come in handy. (Better than nothing at
all.)


Mine almost would lose tune when one of our dogs sneezed. When walking
through the hallway here it wasn't able to play the same station from
one end to the other. Pathetic. I'd take a classy old 6-10 transistor AM
radio. Much better and runs for days on normal batteries, not some
boutique coin cells.


I can't stand those coin cells either. The one I got for 99c takes
AAAs.
