LOL at the MD players. Us white kids didn't have no shit like that. haha. Anyone remember DAT players? I remember my neighbor's buddy had one in his CRX in like 1989ish. I was like WTF is that? and apparently it was "digital" quality sound or something. Blew my mind back then.

Hoping anyone on here(from Richmond) remembers a white EF hatch with the plate "ungobox" or something. Dumped on Si alloys with an Ungo alarm and a killer system and no tint. Super fishbowl. Were talkin' late 80's early 90's. It was really the car that introduced me to Honda's in general. I fucking loved it! So clean.

^I remember a friend of mine claimed he bought an early mp3 player through the futureshop website for $80 when it was supposed to be listed for $800 or something like that. Futureshop was forced to honour the deal.

I was legitimately the only kid I knew that had a MD player at my school, everyone else was just barely getting into MP3 players and iPods. Idk what you guys mean about background noise burning them though, I used to make them like you would burn a CD. I actually found mine the other day, something happened to it years ago where it stopped reading the discs :(

Anyone remember these? The Osiris G Bag, my friend had one and I remember the amp being heavy as hell and sucking batteries like no other.

CD Burner + High School = 10 Dollars a burnt CD when paying retail to buy cd's cost $27 without tax So people thought they were getting a good deal with all the newest releases on one 80min CD-R

The actor passed away in February of this year. RIP

My gf, who grew up after the cassette era, just came by work to swap vehicles and there's a blank cassette tape still in the wrapping in the passenger footwell. She's not sure how it got there either. Such a nostalgic mystery.
