It use to be really cool to have.....

Showing my age and showing how fast things are outdated let's list what USED to be cool.

I thought I was the sh*T when i got a DUEL cassette deck!!!! No longer a single cassette, I have stepped up into my new investment. I could dub friends a tape in half the time. Instead of 45 mins, i could do a fast dub in 15. Does the term 'dub' even exist anymore? Even had a tape trading circle of friends, had to have the TDK 5 pack and once in a while i bought a METAL cassette for SUPERIOR sound! eek no tape hiss! razz

The other COOL item i had was when I stepped up from the cassette walkman to the CD WALKMAN!!!!! eek eek eek , it still skipped while driving in the car. neutral

Old walkmans' were shit weren't they?! They normally were brick shaped and weighed about the same. A particular hindrence when you were walking/jogging and your pants started to fall under the sheer weight of them. Usually the word 'Sport' or something of a similar ilk was written on them in some flashy font.

The headphones usually made from a horrible metal with rough (mainly orange coloured) sponge.

Why was there never a 'Rewind' button on them?! Only a 'FF' this resulted in wasting ones time flipping your tape over (usually Michael Jackson's Thriller with the word 'Epic' written in yellow on it) to get to the track you want.
