Sony Walkman Has Died

 After 31 years, the sony walkman died the other day.  However they will continue to be made in China!  Must admit I never even knew they were still making walkmans.  I knew about portable cd players as they have them in Asda

Where on earth were they selling these things?  

Does anybody here still walk around with their tapes in a bag and walkman?  Apart from my sister in law, I know nobody

Re: Sony Walkman Has Died

 I bought one in a sale from an electronics shop that was getting rid of all their Walkman stock. It was a really high end swish one which is very compact and feels heavy and has a cold metal finish. I do use it very occasionally as I have a small pile of compilation tapes I made years ago from other peoples record collections and it is quite nice to listen to them now after not having heard them in over 15 years.
