Actually, as I recall, Sony was said to have ONE -- count it -- ONE recording Walkman. But the only references I could find to it said that it was priced at something like 5x the cost of a player -- even though the cost of adding recording was obviously nowhere near that. So, no one carried it. Sony had -- and has -- a vested interest in discouraging anyone from buying a device that can record music without copy protection, and this is one way they try to enforce it. --Brett At 09:36 PM 11/21/1999 +1100, atrn@zeta.org.au wrote: >Brett Glass wrote: > > have you ever noticed that there are no Walkmen that record? > >There are such beasts and have been for years.
