Assemble the following components: An iPod. A Freeplay radio. A gizmo to play the iPod over the radio. 1. Wind up the radio (it's also solar powered). Turn it on. The speaker ain't great, but it ain't half bad. 2. Connect the iPod to the gizmo (be sure that you have-preferably rechargeable-AA batteries in the gizmo). Turn both on. 3. Spend your day outside. Garden. Work on your TiBook. Pretend to chase the dog. Wind the radio again if and when needed. 4. Have a great summer. Eric -- Eric L.
