Now I understand. And I have another question. I was looking at a Sony Walkman WM10 model II, which is the skinny one, in a store. The buttons kept sticking when I tried it. And the max volume was still comfortable, which I consider too low. (I have a Toshiba tiny FM personal radio which can quickly make you deaf.) So I asked my sister, who has a WM10-II what her experience was. It was the same for her, the buttons stick on hers. I am starting to think this model has a design problem and is something to avoid. Does this seem like a reasonable assessment or have I just been unlucky in choosing samples? And is there a "walkman" cassette player you can recommend? I already have a personal radio so I don't need the radio part. Would it be too much to hope for Nakamichi to come out with a personal cassette player? -- This may not even represent my opinion, much less AMD's.
