Oh the issue about the Walkman had nothing to do with price, I just didn't like the format.

My point wasn't really about the price, but availability. You said you remembered Walkman as "way way later than the 70s" and I was just pointing out that, technically, they were kind of around the WHOLE 70s, just not priced or marketed in a way that they would have been very common, and hence why you remember them "way way later" (probably sometime around 82-84, right?)
