High fidelity takes backseat to portability

I have no interest in portable music (other than
in-car). I must be an old fuddy-duddly.

Me too, I guess. I like music well-enough to have a
FAR above-average home sound-system, but having
ear-buds going all the time during normal life? I
just don't get it.

The ear buds would simply just annoy me. Besides I have
naturally very waxy ears (need regular cleaning) and
they would be mega yucky to use.



And I thought I was the only person left who never
bought a walkman, a discman, or an IPod. :-)


I *won* a portable mini-disc in a competition once but
it's barely been used.


I hear that the MD made a far bigger splash in Europe than in the US. I
have a MD recorder/player in storage that I intentionally bought. You've
probably used yours more.
