  Although this things has no usefulness now a days, but they were one of the attractive things in their age. I also had a Sony walkman and it was my best companion in those days. I still remember it.

  boy, those were the days… walkman might be limited, but it shows “more” life than iPod. I mean, you're flipping the tape and you carry a lot of tapes – those tapes were your favorite albums. In iPod you got thousands of albums and you're not even listening to them. 80s were the best!
