Sorry, everyone. I hate to rub it in your face, but I was cooler than you in 1990 and had this: https://walkman.land/sony/wm-af54

Sony WM-AF54 ▶ Walkman.land

Rugged, water-resistant radio walkman from the famous Sports series. It includes metal/normal tape selector, dual headphone jack, and LED battery indicator.

@colly "Dave, you don't strike me as particularly... sports"

Back in the day I was very sports. I played basketball with my neighbor Alicia (she had a net and was actually good), I made skate videos with my friend Adrian who had a flop. I could do the whole monkeybars. And I rode bikes and did paper routes with my friend Preston. So yeah. I was sports, thank you very much.

@davatron5000 @colly This site is very cool. I am trying to find out which were the two models I had. Not so easy. One was the bulkiest white Walkman you could ever imagine (needed 4 AA batteries I think) and the other one was blue, just a little bigger than an actual cassette and it had… A REPEAT FUNCTION which I though was the coolest thing ever.

@davatron5000 And even if you weren’t sports, yellow is an awesome color!
