Sorry for those on the reader, my phone sent a separate text for each part of my post. So here is a condensed version.
I bought an mp3 player last night. Its 30 bucks, holds 600 songs, touchscreen and downloads via usb. Before I give up my old computer, I am going to convert my cds to mp3 and backup the collection on my portable hd. The hd should be here in a few days. Then instead of the portable DVD drive for a power hungry laptop and the accessories to watch tv on it, I am opting for a tv and DVD player for 79. Also not wanting to get a second battery for the laptop its actually cheaper this way.
The windshield is going to be 220 and the rest is for my trip.
