I didn't remember that about it. I had the recording walkman, which I sneaked into concerts. Wonderful stuff, Sony. I pretty much only used it for recording, and it broke probably before 100 usages, while being treated like glass. Of course everything Sony makes is unrepairable...

My daughters sure have it good. iPhones with bluetooth earbuds, they can listed to music all day in high school. In my day, headphones were huge and music sources were the size of bricks. Very hard to conceal from even the most tedious of teachers.
