My first audio player purchase being a Sony Walkman cassette player. It had a feature where you could shake it and the tape wouldn't warble. Not sure how they did that, since it's not just adding a buffer to memory. Flywheel? At the time it seemed sleek, today it would be a cumbersome brick. Loved that little expensive gizmo.
My first iPod was a third generation (think it was third generation) 60 gig model. My first computer, purchased not that long prior, only had a 40 gig hard drive. All this is relatively recent for someone my age, but things change so quickly these days that it all seems like ancient history.
Yea man. Sucks balls. I will prob be buying an arcade and selling this one for parts on ebay or something. Before I do though, we should swap DVD drives.
