OT: Well its time to retire

[mattola]

for this lil guy

30 years and Sony finally retires the Cassette Walkman.... really they were still selling them?

I remember my first walkman, the thing had to be 3 pounds and about 2 inches thick and about 6 inches by 6 inches.

enjoy the rest and go for a Walk......Man.... sigh

Do you know you can make a tattoo gun out of a walkman?

Don't ask me where I learned that...

If I seen someone walking around with that... I just might freeze in time and think I was in an alternate reality. I havent seen or used one of those since I was like 10.

I am a proud owner of one of those (have no idea where it is now though). I also have a Sony Betamax player.

Y'see, the kids, they listen to the rap music, which gives them the brain damage. With their hippin' and their hoppin', and their bippin', and their boppin'... so they don't know what the jazz is all about! You see, Jazz is like a Jello Pudding pop — no! Actually, it's more like Kodak film — no! Actually, jazz is like the new Coke; it'll be around forever! Heh heh heh...

I am sure I have a couple of those in a box somewhere. I actually had one when I was a kid that was just a radio a few years before the cassette ones came out.
