Sony Walkman 30 years old!

Freedom from large stereos was made available to the general public 30 years ago last week. Weighing in at just short of one pound, it was bohemium in size compared to the tiny iPods of today. Cassettes seem a thing of the past, but amazingly, the Walkman player


is still being produced today, but has not been updated since 2002.

I remember I brought a Walkman with me when I visited Brian in 1998. :) I brought it along because I recorded my favorite songs from CD onto tape to listen to on the plane and stuff.

Heh, I had one of those as well... I think my older brother, Colin, gave it to me, it was his old one! I got a lot of use out of it. One thing about cassettes, they didn't skip like CD's. Interesting post!
