Come on, old people on TFF, be nostalgic: Who owned a walkman (the thing that plays audio cassettes)?
What did you do to it?
When did you have it? (when you were a child, a teenager, an adult even?!)
And most importantly: Do you STILL have it?

I'm asking, as you might imagine, because I've found my old walkman - which is probably about fifteen years old - today on the attic. I didn't know it was there, but I was veeery happy to find it (alongside with about ten old audio cassettes, yays).
I used it back when I was about 8... 9... or 10... I don't remember. I think when I got 11 I got a discman (which is still working, but in a bad condition!) - so it's very very old. I remember going for walks with my dog and the walkman, of course. I also recorded lots of stuff from the radio, all the songs I loved back then.
And, embarrassing but true: I recorded a radio show with an elementary school friend. XD I met her at university (! XD) a few months ago and she even remembered the old cassettes. I thought they were all broken, but it seems one of them survived (currently listening to it; don't really recognize my own voice - but hers!).

Plus, I'm really surprised it's still working perfectly fine - technology back in the 90's seems to be better than today. A modern mobile phone probably wouldn't last 15 years...


So tell me your walkman stories!
