Ain't no way that's a Discman. I have a Sony one from the 90s on my desk, for one. Two, I thought Sony had the trademark on Discman? And three, that's Panasonic and doesn't have Discman anywhere on it.
So unless Discman wasn't trademarked and became synonymous with CD players, I refuse to accept that's a discman!
Yet Wikipedia says Sony launched it in 1984 but changed the name to Walkman at some point
I was gonna say the same thing, but I'm glad you did. Makes me feel old anyway.
