I think I still have a tape player walkman somewhere in the garage as well as a CD player all still in good shape. I am still hanging on to them as if I am expecting a reverse to that technology like fashion trends do sometimes.

I wonder if I’ll still be able to keep up with the latest technology when I’m in my dotage? I will say that it’s a lot easier to carry around 900 mp3s than it would be to carry the same number of songs on CD.

I live in Victoria, Australia. The place that had the horrific bushfires earlier this year. Well, no where near those, thankfully, but the same state.

BTW, if my earlier comment seemed wildly off-topic, it’s because, like an idiot, I clicked on the wrong comment section… meaning to comment on the ‘What’s that smell?’ entry… yeah, I’ll own my stupidity there. ^-^

I can one up you since I still have the cassette version of one of these. To make matters worse I still have some tapes.

kathryn — Yes, the CDs skip,but not from me running. Running? Oh, honey. You don’t know me very well. They skip from being dirty and not well cared for.

Staci at JustBloggled — I can’t even remember the tape kind. I feel sort of on the cutting edge with my CD version. Tee hee. p.s. Exercise will kill you.

Elisha — OMG. That’s too scary. And smelly. And dangerous. Do you live in California by chance?

Earlier this year I awoke very early to the smell of smoke. My fiancé smelled it too… we searched and our house was not the culprit, the stench was coming from outside. It was a toxic oily sort of smoke, and we later found out… the local lake was on fire. Yep, the lake had dried up so much that fairy grass that was supposed to be taken care of by the local fire brigade was able to keep burning in the cracks in the mud.

It’s been on fire about three times this year… >_>

If it makes you feel any better, I still listen to my Walkman, the tape player kind, not the CD one, although I have a CD one as well. Hey, Walkmans rocked the 90′s. Granted, I don’t listen to it in public. That would be a little embarrassing, but I do it in the privacy of my own home all the time.

I gave up the Discman for an iPod the day I tried to jog on the treadmill (I’m a walker, so jogging rarely happens), and the Discman went flying and then hit the garage floor. Miraculously, it still works, but it stays in the drawer unless the iPod battery is dead and I can’t find any good radio station songs on the Walkman.

I’m guessing *someone* had better get you an iPod…and pronto! Do the cds still skip when you run with them? Not that I run ANYWHERE, mind you, but I can remember trying to clean with one in a holster of some sort….it was not working well.
Time to upgrade, baby!

Michelle Gartner — Funny! The weird thing is I think I bought this (wasn’t a gift to me). Why I picked bumble bee yellow is beyond me.

Carla — That’s two for the Zune! (Grant suggested it too).

Ty — My sister’s had her iPod for probably three years now. She’s so nice to not mock me. At least not to my face.

BK — I’ll ask Santa to throw in a few iTunes gift cards, too, OK?

TheSnackHound — Oh, geez. He’s not a fan of change, is he? And that’s not a half cracked idea about keeping it in its packaging for a retro resale!

Jenn Thorson — I think I would like to hear a bedtime story read to me. Although I’d probably fall asleep after a few paragraphs and never get the book finished.

Condo Blues — Yes, let’s pretend I never backup my data. Yea, pretend.

Jeff — Har! As for my discus, I did always have to switch hands when carrying it. I didn’t want to pump up just one arm with that thing.

Angie — That’s funny. I think you must be the only person who ever cared about being social at the gym. I wonder if anyone actually talks at the gym. Or is that bad form?

The Hawg! — If only.

JD at I Do Things — I knew it. So people really did make fun of me?

Until I got him an iPod Shuffle, Dave listened to his CD Walkman on vacations. I refused to be seen with him.

Hey, if someone’s going to give you money when you carry one of those things, I’d say rock on!

That is so hilarious! I got an ipod a couple of years ago and only used it a few times, I am so paranoid, I cant take any device with me outside, I have to have my ears open for everything! I just used it in the gym a few times, then I decided an ipod makes you look snobby, and decided not to use it, then decided everyone was snobby at the gym because they wouldn’t talk to me, because they were too busy with their darn ipods and whatnots, and quite going. I am a talker with issues! LOL

I was thrilled when Sony came out with the Walkman. Do you have any idea how hard it is to jog with a reel-to-reel player strapped to your back?

If some little imp questions your discman, tell him it’s backup media. Because you are smart and will never lose all of the MP3′s you downloaded on your computer when it crases even though you know you should back up your hard drive and never do.

I do love my iPod, so I can understand how you feel being iPodless. And I CANNOT stop listening to books on my iPod, at night. There’s something wonderful about having someone read you a story. I hope Santa treats you well.
