   If your budget can stand it, you might want to consider a switching mode   
   regulator.  Some are three-terminal drop-in replacements for the TO-220   
   devices.   
      
   If you are a hardware hacker (literally), you can cannibalize one from a USB   
   car charger.  Here in Silicon Valley, Fry's Electronics sometimes sells them   
   for under a dollar.  This may not work reliably if your unregulated supply is   
   over 18V, but should    
   work fine if it is 15V or less.
