LOL haha.

As well as the first model Sony Discman portable CD Player, which used
about 10 C sized batteries, which lasted about 1.5 CD's and were then
flat. I then left it wired to the power and the cyrus, a configuration
that lasted about 12 years.

Well how about that, Wikipedia tells me my Discman may be collectible,
but i think i threw it away when it stopped working. It's the D50,
