I'm 26 and this makes me feel really old! One year for Christmas all I wanted was a Walkman so I could listen to my :cough, cough: MC Hammer tapes anywhere I wanted. Before laughing keep in mind he was well respected in 1990-91! Anyway, I got my walkman and I used to run around outside listening to that thing non stop. I couldn't believe how great it was to be able to take my music with me.
Then I remember getting one of the early discman(men?) in 1994, skip tastic experience is all I can say and quite a lumbering beast of a device, bigger than my old walkman was lol.
The fact that this device is now so ancient a 13-year-old has never even seen one, shocks me incredibly, although I guess it shouldn't. Hey, when I was a kid I listened to my parents vast record collection so I knew how records worked even though cassettes had beaten them out at that point, no excuse on the tapes kids!
