The Old Days (4 years ago)
I was just flipping through my archive of pictures when I found this. Its a picture of my original iPod with Nibaqs old iPod FM transmitter. That over sized black box with the pull out antenna is what we used to use to connect our iPods to the car stereo. There were no iTrips or any of those tiny sexy looking white transmitters back then.

3rd!
Wonder if it works better than the current FM transmitter, because they look cool but the signal is crap. Judging by the tough look this thing must have a badass signal ;)

Mark,
Allow me to go off-topic:
There’s a lecture and exhibition tonight (Monday) at the Kuwait National Museum that i think you’d enjoy.
It’s about the recent findings of archeological exvacations going on in Failaka Island.
It starts at 7:30 at the Kuwait National Museum (gulf road, next to Parliament)
Hope you can make it…

Thats not old .. oldschool is when you build a pc in a wooden box, hook it up to a black and white 12″ screen and solder together a ghetto FM player.

To me the iTrip is old-school. This is the 21st century, how come you can’t buy a car stereo with an iPod dock? Why do you have to mess with the loss of quality of transmitting to the FM on your car? There are tons of home speaker docks, why not in the car? Yeah, I know that BMWs have it as an option or something, but I can’t believe the rest of this market is untapped (either on purpose or not).
K, that’s not old school, it’s called retro-computing or steampunk:

Your talking about something completely different.
I built a pc for the car in 98/99; and since cases were too big those days; I built the box from wood to fit under the seat.
