I wore big bulky coats that always had 3 or 4 cassettes and 6 or 8 spare rechargeable batteries in my pockets. One of my Walkmen (Walkmans?) broke 6 times in 2 years. Luckily the Sony repair depot was a 10 minute drive from my house. We were fortunate that they let us deliver it right to them, as other companies that were equally close required us to mail the product for repairs regardless of proximity. But 6 times in 2 years? I felt so naked without my Walkman. I've never had a favourable opinion of Sony products until I got my PS2 last year. Despite how excellently crafted the PS2 is, I figure it's an exception to the norm. I go out of my way not to buy Sony these days, just like I'll now go out of my way not to buy Sega despite the excellently crafted Dreamcast.

That's probably my favourite British idiom since I love the accidental double-entendre of a novel and a graveyard. :) Anyhoo, no, Sega never did get back to me - probably because I told them I'd already gotten a refund. They've recently stopped support for the Dreamcast so I wonder what they'll populate their useless generic customer support emails with now! Thanks for writing, Mick! Please say hi to Keith and the rest of the Stones for me! haha “lost the plot”. That’s probably my favourite British idiom since I love the accidental double-entendre of a novel and a graveyard. :)
