30 years of SONY Walkman personal stereos (yes, that's the official plural of "Walkman" according to SONY). Wow.
I figure I had at least four SONY cassette players, one recorder/player, one cheapie Walkman knockoff (called, I think, a Rollyman or some such), and two Panasonic Sports tape players. The SONY ones were always the best, and got used and used and used until they died a natural death.
I always wanted the WM-W800 (double) Walkman. It was way beyond my first-year university student budget.
How many of these did you have?
I remember when I first heard of the Walkman... I was in high school. A friend of mine bought one in 1981 and that was the first time I handled one. Quite the revolution.
