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.

Aw, this is making me want to go to eBay to buy one just for nostalgic purposes.

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.
