Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Walkman; the sad truth
That sucks! At least if it's ever seen, it'll be recognized! Gosh! Makes
you wonder what has become of it! Hopefuly, with all the more advanced
ideas and more and more people getting skilled in BEAM tech, maybe a few
new robots can step in to fill the void left by walkman. It still
seriously sucks though...
