On our bus ride to Annapolis (not quite 30 hours, but a bus ride's a bus ride's a bus ride), my friend brought this nifty little transformer that changed the cigarette lighter up by the driver to a normal 120v outlet. I'd recommend bringing a laptop and powering it this way, but be warned of the current each device draws - with only two laptops plugged in, our transformer was getting dangerously hot.

You should also bring games on the laptop, something multiplayer is usually more fun - i.e. Worms World Party - because it just pisses people off when you get to play and they have to watch. Besides, it's more fun to beat your friends than the computer.

And if all else fails, then yeah, you can go DivX... *glances at cd spool of burnt - er....
