And the industrial design was fantastic. I remember a kid coming to high school with this walkman (http://www.walkman-archive.com/gadgets/walkman_sony_05_701c_v3.htm http://www.walkman-archive.com/gadgets/walkman_sony_05_701c_...) after his Dad had visited Japan, I was amazed that it was only fractionally larger than the tape it held. 30 years later and IMO it still looks modern.
