My new car has a built-in port for an MP3 player, but I don't know how it works yet. It came standard. Maybe I should buy an i-Pod so I can check it out. Perhaps that would bring a touch of swank to my Honda Element!

Prolly a simple 1/8" stereo jack. Get a jobby like one of these http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...t%5Fid=42-2387

and you should be good to go. You can jack in an mp3 player, or portable CD player or anything else with a headphone jack.

Thanks for that, but it's some kind of USB-type port. I'll have to actually get the book out and look it up at some point. I'm sure the folks at the Apple store will be happy to help me, esp since I'm thinking about an i-Book, too.
