Interesting, I had my laptop in it's case in the car on a long trip last October. I really didn't want to bring it, but I needed it for an assignment I had then, and when I plugged the cable in to the laptop, in to that square adapter, the tab didn't lock, and when I flipped it back to the position it should've been in, it broke off, but that cable is too short for using the synth with anything else but a laptop, even on my lap to next to me is pushing the distance the cable can go. Why did they make it so short? Especially where I'm likely to work to use it, there's probably not a wall behind every machine to mount it on.
