The Sony Walkman is officially dead.
Sony has decided to end production and sales of their Walkman portable cassette players after more than 30 years on the market.
The final batch was produced in Japan this year and as soon as they're sold, there will be no more.
Since 1979, over 200 million Walkman cassette players have been sold.
Sony plans to continue making and selling their CD and MiniDisc-based Walkmans.
The passing of the Walkman is indeed an end of an era.

God, and we still have TWO of them...lol.
I recall the original brick-like buggers hanging on everyone's hips...
I suppose the NEXT step will be to implant music-access chips in our skulls...(yikes, shades of Orwell)
Well, not in OURS anyway, right?
Have a good week.
