I once won a pink Walkman when I ended up 4th in a soundmix show ;D
I still remember the very first home computers, only a few people had one these days and the screen was black with green or white basic fonts. I think the program back then was MS DOS.

Ah, fond memories of the freedom of the Walkman... Mine was pretty much glued to my belt, when I was younger. For the first time, I could actually take music around WITH me. Great stuff! Had no idea what they would develop into, of course, but I can imagine the kids of today's generation being amazed at the huge size and limited ability of the iPod. "You can't stream films on that thing! Or get updates from your favourite groups! And it's so BIG! Not like my Micron FX!" ;D Ah, technology!  I think I still have a camera somewhere that takes actual film! Not sure you can even get those, now... |

Nope, my first protable music player was a Sony Discman. I managed to wear out three in as many years. I didn't even move to MP3s until recently. I started ripping music to my computer about five years ago. I bought an iPhone at the start of this year and have learned to enjoy the iPod capabilities of it, though for podcasts more than music. I rarely travel outside of a car for any period of time, so the car stereo gets the most use.
For someone who is very computer literate and enthusiastic, I take up new technology very slowly.

I had some sort of Walkman when I lived in Africa.

I just overheard a couple of the guys I work with exclaiming how long it takes to copy 1.4Mb to a 3.5" floppy disk. We use specialised hardware and software that was developed in the 70s, and hasn't been upgraded since. The trouble is, now that they've copied the flies to a floppy disk, they need to find a computer with a floppy drive to read them.

I still do have a floppy drive in my older pc ^^ I also remember having a computer that had only a black screen and green letter when I was very young.

My Walkman was yellow and had the bad habit of eating my cassettes' tapes. ;D
The tech toys we really liked as kids were the 1st Nintendo and the ghetto blasters with voice-recording capability.

Hmmmm... I still remember... what the heck was it called again? Record players? My house had one, a long time ago... my father would play all sort of super old songs on it but many of them were quite good. ;D Too bad I don't recall the names anymore. |

Record players never really disappeared.... Some DJ's still use them and IIRC there are still companies making some brand new ones. They're crazy expensive though. ;D |

I had the cutest record player, it looked like a small brown suitcase and I played records on it with stories like Gulliver's Travels and fairytales like Cinderella and some story with a donkey that set the table....
