I guess we're done.  This is the height of technology.  Nothing else to invent or discover.   :P

A teacher of mine gave me his first edition Walkman.  I fixed it up a bit, and I believe it still works.  

I'm not getting rid of my cassette players so soon.  There are many cassettes in my collection and they can also go for really good sale prices, sometimes I find a bin filled with the DG.  Complete Mozart symphonies for $5 or some stuff like that.

MiniDisc is old?   ::)

Thanks for the link Bob.
