i was at the basement these days and found my last WALKMAN.
Do you remember?
These personal portable music players without an USB connector?
And instead of flash memory you owned a huge collection of cassetts.
And if you need new stuff, you have to record them by yourself?!

It took me hours to balance it at the top of this metal stand...^^
(Just look at the setup shot to see my construction)

This was the Nespresso store at Munich.
I never saw one before...
I thought they only exist in their comercial spots...
But Clooney was away this evening ;-)
