Walkmans never advanced? Tell that to me in 8th grade when i upgraded to a Sony with auto reverse, dolby B and MEGA BASS!
Also Walkmans are still around ;) http://www.sonyericsson.com/walkman/
How old are you? =)
Ah, auto-reverse. Those were the days.
33, old enough to remember that if you really liked a girl you made her a mix tape on high-bias!
Hell yeah! I had the same thing (maybe not the same model, but the same features) in middle school as well... thing had a full LCD read out for the settings and radio functions, and a large metal clamp lock that made the thing waterproof along with the full rubber trim.
That SOB was hardcore, and I had figured out the timing on all my favorite cassettes so I knew when to hit the auto-reverse switch and listen to the appropriate tracks on the other side.
That thing kept me from getting a CD player for four years or so, before I upgraded to the equivalent Walkman CD player, with the metal clamp and yellow finish.
My PSP handles all my music now (I don't even play games on the thing) but for a good decade all of my portable music was delivered via Walkman. I'm not a Sony fanboy (I play on my PC and NES more than my PSP) but they were the best out there for a long time.
You guys had LCDs back then? ;-P
But anyway, I also carried a Walkman tape player around in middle school, with copies of my dad's ol' vinyls (Dark Side of the Moon got a lot of play, so much I had to re-record it), then I upgraded to a Panasonic MP3-CD player. That thing was awesome!
