Re: R.I.P. Sony Walkman
Quick, everyone get on eBay and hoard them to re-sell in 10 years for a fortune!
I'm also surprised they're still made, but I guess other nations aren't as technologically-spoiled as us. I'm sure they're commonplace in places like Nigeria. You'll see kids strolling down the street with a Walkman, while wearing their Carolina Panthers Super Bowl Champs shirt.

Re: R.I.P. Sony Walkman
I wonder if TTE has one. Remember how he didn't know what an iPod was?

I've only had one every break on me in my lifetime and it was because I played the thing to death. CDs scratch very easily. I take very careful care of mine and they still don't stay perfect. You can drop cassettes without killing them. Drop a CD in your driveway and there's a good chance it's done. Now sound quality...convenience of finding a song instantly...there's no comparison. I still have all of my old cassettes from the 80s and they'll play. They have durability as a strength for sure, unlike VHS tapes that break down and become unplayable over time, especially if not rewound completely.
