13-year-old adopts Walkman, pities his parents

» What happens when you convince a 13-year-old to trade his iPod for a Walkman? Scorn (peers), nostalgia (adults), and of course, hilarity.

It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape. [...] Another notable feature that the iPod has and the Walkman doesn't is "shuffle", where the player selects random tracks to play. Its a function that, on the face of it, the Walkman lacks. But I managed to create an impromptu shuffle feature simply by holding down "rewind" and releasing it randomly - effective, if a little laboured.
