Ok. So I spent a couple of days figuring out iTunes and loading up my new iPod.Tiny bit easier than messing around with cassette tapes like I did when I got my first "music machine" - a Sony Walkman WM.
I still have it.
I don't have any cassette tapes to play though.
It was huge when my mom got it for me for Christmas, probably 20 years ago. I was so coooool! I still smile when I see it, remembering the feeling.
(But the coolest kids in school they had the yellow sport version. The one you would have if you had to... hm... listen to music in the rain).
A Walkman was for some reason called a "Freestyle" in Sweden.
You sure wonder what the Swedish Language Council thought about that.

Känner så igen mig i dina inlägg!Och ler igenkännande. Väldigt rolig läsning.
Blir helt nostalgisk läsa ditt senast inlägg och känner så igen mig (som väl alla 70-talister gör). Mmmm, visst minns man freestylen... De riktigt coola hade som sagt en "riktig" Walkman som t.om. funkade i regnet.

Free-style. Nostalgi!!! Jag minns så väl när jag köpte min första free-style, gud vilken lycka!! Skyndade mig hem för att spela in bra kasettband från mina skivor...
Ja, varför hette det egentligen free-style på "svenska"? Varför plankade vi inte "walkman" rakt av?
