- Okay, virtually no home units will/have be/en sold which can not
- record. The main reason for walkman's not being able to record, nor auto-
- mobiles; is that the enviroment is not well suited for recording. Not many
- people would want to record songs off the radio or a cd while driving 60 mph
- down the highway, nor carrying two units while jogging or riding a bicyle.
- Also, that would make the walkman's a little larger, and more complex. But,
- I know many people make cassette as home, specifically for the car, or
- jogging. Heck, I do so too!
