Haha, you're not wrong!
...I remember the bitter irony that I put, on my epic review of all those players, a footnote that I would not be seen kicking, or screaming into the MP3 era, but - here I am, with only a couple of Discman's still in the 'collection' (D50, and a D88, most others have bitten the dust due to electronics failure), and - more 'MP3' players than I can shake a stick at...
It is truly scary how much the portable scene has changed in the past ten to fifteen years, and I do sometimes wonder if the small group (as we were back then) of eccentrics that frequented this corner of the hi-fi universe had an influence on that!
