I got one of these personal CD player thingys for my 12th birthday. It was designed to be jog-proof and to be used 'on the go'. Even by personal CD player standards it was ridiculously bulky. I was delighted to get it though as it meant not having to put up with cassettes getting destroyed on me.
My very first stereo was a Ferguson boombox like this. As a kid I thought it was badass.
