I remember as a teenager I wanted nothing more than a Sony Walkman to play cassettes on. I scrimped and saved until finally the day came when I was able to buy one. I use to use it all the time. On my bike, on the bus, walking, hanging out, at the library even in my room because it was easier to change tapes than albums. I though of that little tape player today at the gym as I watched how gingerly people would treat their portable CD players. Don't get me wrong I think CD's are great but trying to jog with one in hand gives a new meaning to the phrase 'skipping at the gym'. For this reason I love my MP3 player as it just doesn’t have that problem and its smaller than a cassette to boot. Now if I could just change the music in it as fast!
