Not missing discmen, though. Those sucked.

But yeah, seriously. Walkmen were extremely primitive and all kinds of inconvenient compared to later digital devices, but that also meant that they didn't contain ads, spyware or feeds full of propaganda. And they were fairly rugged (in stark contrast to the various mp3 players I had, which didn't even have touchscreens), didn't have glued-in batteries in proprietary formats (again in contrast to mp3 players), and definitely didn't just become unable to perform their functions because of software stuff.
