Carnoy's brother-in-law Fifa 14 Ultimate Team Coins Ken Landau, discovered his old Walkmacin his basement during a spring clean. It weighs around 6kg and has1MB of memory.
And that's not all it had going for it. Shelling out $6,000 onthe Walkmac (around £8,000 in today's money) would afford youluxuries like an LCD screen, the ability to run off a battery, 16MHz of processing power and an integrated keyboard.
Sony later threatened to sue -- Walkmac being an obvious riff onWalkman -- and the Colby Walkmac became the Colby SE30. Yearslater, of course, the iPod would thoroughly destroy the Walkman --revenge, perhaps, for this earlier snub.
