Hi Roy & Stan,

     I've gone another hop in getting a cigarette lighter plug (that should 
be more universal than AC connections in the world) that only supplies power 
to the USB connection. That way I can run my Zire 71 as a MP3 player through 
the car stereo or other functions on long trips. My thought is (also having 
a 110V wall-wart to cigarette lighter socket converter too) that I'm taking 
my Palm places that I may not have a computer with a USB port.
