Ha! I had a bright yellow Walkman in elementary school. And then I got one of those really nifty see-through portable CD players to that skipped every time I
walked with it. Good times, good times.

Oh man I remember the Discman cd players that you could listen to in your car by attaching it to that cassette thing. It claimed to be "shock
absorbing" or some crap so it wouldn't skip when your car went over bumps.
THAT WAS SUCH BULLSHIT.

I had that yellow one ... and still do. It's boxed up with my childhood "keepsakes". I still listen to my mix tapes though!

I still have a discman somewhere but I feel like it's like carrying around a record player.

I remember I had a Walkman when I was little and then I got a Discman and I thought that it was the coolest thing ever, I even remember carrying around my
Nsync cds like to school so my friends and I could listen to them during recess.

I remember listening to the radio and making mix tapes to listen too on my walkman.
