Re: walkman vs ipod

I never had a Walkman
I don't have an ipod
My phone makes calls and texts, and nothing else.
.....and I don't feel deprived

Re: walkman vs ipod
thing is there is always those moments where your stood queuing, or waiting for something, SWMBO trying another 6 new frocks on, doctors running 2 hours behind....

once you get used to using a mobile for the stuff they can do now you can entertain yourself instead of just being bored senseless.


even just a quick game of soitaire or catching up on BBC news or listening to "Radio Crinklies"

I don't feel the need to be constantly entertained.
Spells of doing nothing work wonders for peace of mind
