    I'm not sure I get it. Is is because it's older and not an ipod?

    Honestly I would give this guy 2 thumbs up!!!
    It is great that he has a confidence to use a discman out of public. Also lets face it is much better for the environment if we do not buy a new gadget every couple of years for the exact freaking purpose: listening to music.

    Watch it - mine's on my bedside table to play a relaxation track each night!

    I also agree with RedheadMommy of the wastage/environment angle.

    I miss those! I remember when they came out with the anti-skip feature...if you had that Discman you were the best!

    More power to him for doing what he wants and not caring what others think. :ohwell:

    I don't see the problem or get the joke. Either he doesn't care about fads, techno gadgets, and wasting money or he simply doesn't have money. However, he is playing what he likes to work out to and getting the job done. I say cheers to him and rock on for not giving a freakin crap. :drinker:

    I would say that your friend needs a new camera phone and ya... I saw a guy at the gym the other night with a yellow walkman! hahaha I didn't have it in me to take a pic, but I was laughing so hard (on the inside!)

    LOL thats why I am glad I never buy myself new toys unless I need them. I had an old discman when I was a kid... but since then I didn't have any music player thingy at all until I got my ipod shuffle for doing cardio. Thats the only time I ever use it too! That thing will last me ages :D

    Haha, I remember being pissed when I couldn't run with a discman because it would skip. Good times.

    I had one of the first Sony Walkman cassette players on the market. It was HUGE! If I still had it, I would factor in the weight to calculate calories burned.

    Do you laugh at people who are carrying last years bag too? Oh, oh, what about people who are driving a car more than 10 years old? Those people are hilarious!:huh:

    I got the humor in the picture, and do see them on occasion at my gym. Mostly senior citizens using them though.

    Not sure why some are turning this into a tree hugging issue.

    My car is 10 years old, lol. This guy is obviously doing what works for him, he seems to have a pretty awesome body that he works hard for and I respect that!! I just have not even thought about a discman in so long and it just looks so out of place these days with everyone having tiny ipods strapped to their arms. It's like a nonsequitor or something :)

    I see it more as people judging others when they know nothing of their situation.:grumble:

    Maybe it's a faux discman and carries a pistol inside!

    Aw, that's cute!
    I don't think it's that big a deal. I doubt this guy would cry himself to sleep about people getting a chuckle about seeing something from their childhood they hadn't seen in forever, let's not take ourselves so seriously, here.

    My dad still has a working 8-track player. LOL Luckily, he also has a sense of humor, and his day isn't ruined when it makes someone laugh, because reality: it's funny.
