Fantastic! I still have an original Sony Walkman (from maybe 1978) and it still works... I've been using it to transfer old cassettes to MP3. It has great sound output...
So... I could take an old analogue cassette, convert to MP3, and play it back on my Walkman. It would be just like being 18 again... - D -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Errington [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 22 April 2008 4:55 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: I'm officially grumpy!
