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!

I was gonna say the same thing, but I'm glad you did. Makes me feel old anyway.

It's Sony, y'all. If there's infringement to be imposed upon you know they'll be right there swingin' their Sony balogna.

Yet Wikipedia says Sony launched it in 1984 but changed the name to Walkman at some point
