I'm surprised cassette Walkman's made it into the 21st century! I will not miss them! I did own a Sony MP3 Walkman a few years back, but said, F it and got an IPod.

Just look at Bob Guccione. That's the way to do it. The guy is born a poor nobody in a crowded human swamp (Brooklyn) and makes a life of sumptious opulence dripping in fame and beautiful women.
And then he passes leaving creditors holding his debt.
Dang, if I could just do it all over again knowing what I know now

The demise of the walkman makes me feel old. Sniff. :-(

The demise of XP is why I have switched to Apple.

I used to go threw walkmans like candy, But yet I always had to have one. Sad to see part of my youth vanish.
