This feels similar to how I felt in school when everyone was getting the iPod, and I had a Sandisk Sansa. :)

- aksss 4y agoYep, there was a lot to like about my CompactFlash MP3 player back in the day - solid state, ran on one AA battery (lithium for snowboarding in winter), backlit white on blue LCD, physical momentary switch for navigation on the side (no touch screen). Scarcely bigger than a zippo lighter. I was honestly more excited about that thing than I ever was about a walkman or discman, maybe because I was old enough to have actually used a walkman and discman. The iPod was awesome, but at same time first gen was a mechanical drive and the whole iTunes thing seemed a step backwards to someone using MediaMonkey to manage a large MP3 library.
- heavyset_go 4y agoHaha same, except I rocked a iRiver H340 with Rockbox.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoThe difference is that it didn't stop you from interacting with them though. This kind of discrimination is akin to not even owning a cellphone if you are excluded. An iPod isn't a social life.
