Not me...but the Sony Walkman

A revolution in the portable music industry began in Japan on July 1, 1979

Sony introduced its Walkman portable cassette player thirty years ago this week, kicking off a revolution in the consumer electronics industry by changing the way people enjoy music.

Until its introduction, the only way people could enjoy their own choice of music while on the go was to lug around a larger, heavier cassette player, but the Walkman brought music to the belt-clip, purse or pocket

I wonder if Bartman has advanced to an IPOD or MP3 player.
