Subject: Suggestions on how to fasten a laptop while driving?

I'm in love with MP3s!  There are far more MP3s on my IBM ThinkPad 760ED
than there are CDs in my vans.

I know it has been done before, so why re-invent the wheel?  What is the
best way to secure my lap top so I can drive and have access to it without
worrying about it sliding off the dash or seat?  Also, what is the best way
to interface audio out with my sound system?

Thanks in advance!
