How many of you had this in your childhood ?

I was little, but my mom had one that didn't work. I used to mess around with it, just fiddle and pretend it was the hilt of a lightsaber or something.

I had one but I could almost never get it to work

MP3s weren’t invented yet. I had both a Walkman and a Discman at one point or another.

Yup

I've got a Walkman radio. I take it whenever I go skating so that my phone doesn't get jacked if I get mugged

More like in my teenage years. Kids in my class still had walkmans and before that tape cassette players. I still have my tape cassette radio.

These were great because you didn't need to download a special program to get your music onto them like with other MP3 players, I still have one somewhere
