Bip 88 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Call me a stick in the mud if you like, but ever since MP3 players where introduced I have been reluctant 2 purchase 1, after all my portable tape recorder/player [Walkman] is still working fine and the bright Yellow colour always attracts well meaning comments and looks. So when last night while late night shopping I inadvertently strayed in2 the electrical section of ASDA and before I knew it a 1Gb MP3 player found it’s way in2 my shopping trolley. You can imagine the surprise on my face when I looked on my till receipt 2 find that the said article had cost me the miserly sum of £14, that wouldn’t buy a NOW 69 double album some 5 years ago. So what do I do with the cassette box I once carried over my shoulder with the full collection of Fred Carno and his swinging velveteers in? All I have 2 do now is load my favourite melodies on2 my computer and download them in2 my brand new magic box of tricks. Not only is this new purchase lighter than a Walkman 2 carry and less bulky 2 but it uses less batteries which in the climate we find ourselves these days makes sense, less of a carbon footprint.

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Dunno Den, don't have one and don't use my old walkman either, much prefer the sound of birds and the country sounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Got board with my MP3 about 2 weeks after I bought it (I should have bought one with a radio on it) If you have a real old Sony walkman and especially if you have the box ,don't throw it I'll give you a fiver for it LOL(They are actually worth quite a lot of money DON'T PART WITH IT FOR LESS THAN A TON) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 13 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I've got the Sony MP3 player NW-A1000 but we only tend to use it when we go away on holiday. Great on the plane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I know a place in California where you can buy movies on Laser Years old but in new condition for $3-5. I did check what they were going for on eBay. NOWT! otherwise I would have bought some. One was one of Elvis's movies! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
