I don't know if it is spoiled or just clueless about history. Even if MP3 compression existed 15 years after the walkman was introduced it would have taken $200 worth of RAM to store one song. Without compression it is more like $2000 worth of ram (both 1993-94 prices of $50 per meg). Whatever the reason it is scary to me that this kid supposedly co-edits a news website.
