I like that he regards the buttons on the Walkman as a nuisance. :) -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 09:44
This story amuses me. I did have a walkman when I was younger, but it was plastic and far more compact than the one in the article. - Beryllium Jun 29, 09:34 6
- I had a walkman pro, recorded very well, was all metal and weighed like a brick, damn good sound, why I'm half deaf today -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 29, 09:48
- word to your IM. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 09:35 4
  - With regard to the walkman, I dissassembled it after I heard a very strange story on talk radio on it. - Beryllium Jun 29, 09:37 3

    - *doggy head-tilt* wait...what? - JaxSean Jun 29, 09:39 1
      - Ah, the power of having an AM/FM radio built in. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 09:48
Cool story, I still have 2 walkman's but I haven't used them in many years. -- nm - Krusty Jun 29, 09:34 2
- I think I still have a cassette one in the attic. Maybe. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 29, 09:41
- heh ditto, I know one still has a Soundgarden/Pearl Jam mixed tape in it to :) -- nm - Beaker Jun 29, 09:40
I've never understood why CD double albums couldn't be double-sided - con_carne Jun 29, 09:29 3
- it probably costs more to make and handle than two single sided -- nm - zork Jun 29, 09:43
- Technology-wise, they could be. In terms of printing the discs, they probably want to have a writable surface for copyright info and stuff. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 09:32 1
  - Yeah, the problem is that when both sides are data there's not much room for label. -- nm - Ender Jun 29, 09:48
