[offtopic]I remember my wife using an old Sony Walkman on the London Underground back in the day.
Around 1985-6 we used home workers to transcribe foreign language texts to computer, using Tandy Model 100 computers and audio tape storage. They always save two copies to reduce losses due to tape problems. But we still had a lot of failures when we tried to read the tapes in our London office. Long story short, it turned out that London Underground train motors make very good bulk tape erasers for cassettes placed in a carrier bag on the carriage floor.
