Let me think, when did I last use a CD player like that?

Oh, I remember. Today morning. Oh, it's been a while.

What's the long black cable coming off it?

Also, are those two circles the display? That's a pretty cool design. I really like old technology.

It’s a headphones cable with a built-in remote so you could put the player in your bag and change tracks using the remote built into the headphones cable.

Also you guys are making me feel painfully old.

I guess that panasonic one I had in 1986 would be over next to the dinosaurs.

Mine was like the first one shown in this commercial. What they don't show you was the huge battery pack you had put the portable in.

It was never called a Tapeman, so why disc?

It should be a runman or a walkwoman.

Because you could hardly walk, let alone run with one if you actually wanted to enjoy the music

Ode to a world of ownership

I don't know why, but this hits the hardest.

Saw a Genesis console displayed behind glass in a library. I took photos like I haven't seen one before.. 😭

I still have mine (and the nes and snes) in a box in the garage. I wonder if it works.

IIRC that one doesn't have skip protection

Hah, I had that exact model in high school. It eventually broke and I replaced it with something better via best buy warranty.

Me too buddy, me too.
