Hmm... must have been nice to have such advanced technology in highschool....
this was what we had available when in highschool
I found my exact CD player from my 3rd year of highschool
This thing was great because it had the extra battery pack you could attach on the back to add hours of playback. 2xAAA in the disc player, plus 2xAA in the battery pack. Plus 40 second anti-skip, that was so amazing back in the day... this was just before MP3s took off as the main format for music.
