Shift seats. Don't make eye contact.. My first 'walkman' was an aiwa that could record, which I thought was amazingly cool at the time. I vote mental. Shift seats. Don’t make eye contact..

It' amazing. And like, I imagine a lot of older people do, pronounces Sony like sonic with a y on. Love it. BTW my instant thought on this was not if a retro loving nutter but an old person listening to language/classical tapes?! My dad still has a white one with orange foam headphones. It’ amazing.

I can't believe any normal person would still have one in prime condition, this person should probably be considered dangerous!

On the other hand I saw someone using a Minidisk player the other day... I distanced myself at swiftly as possible. I’d say he’s retro rather than mental, Walkman owners are the cool side of edgy.

This suggests one of two things; 1) they have old audiotapes they can't bear to be without or 2) they managed to buy the last stash of TDK90's in the world when Woolies closed shop. Either of which probably classes the individual as dangerous.

Then again, who knows, if they found it on ebay - awesome, but if they've kept it box fresh since the days of Live & Kicking - not so cool. The other possibility is, of course, that they've just escaped from an elaborate Goodbye Lenin/Blast from the Past style prison, and mp3 players are just too terrifying to contemplate.
