I love it!! Makes me feel...happy!!

It's pretty easy to get a "promotion" when you're the boss. Who in N. Korea is going to say no?

Isn't this the same company we read about on these pages the other day that is bringing out a new CD-audio cassette-FM boom box? What might they do next - produce an earthquake resistant cassette player?

Hellooo, this isn't Japan! I think these Japanese "officials" will regret their requests. What better way to make it into a big news story and inspire other Korean-American communities to put up their own plaques? And they're essentially offering the city a bribe to take the plaque down!! How totally culturally tone deaf can these people be?

Too weird!! I just gave away my old Sony CD-FM-cassette box 'cuz I haven't used it for like 10 years. Well, it's good to know that if I ever change my mind I could buy another. Is it possible that we've reached the end time of new technology, or is Toshiba just throwing in the towel?

What I'd like to know is, just what is it that the pro-NK community in Japan love about NK? Do any of them ever elect to repatriate? I bet not. I've always thought it so puzzling that anyone not forced to, would have a love of repression and slavery. The mind is a strange thing.

Why is this news? It might have been 5 years ago, but what's different about this unit and the zillions of other mp3 players, besides having a speaker, perhaps. It's got an iPod Nano price without any of the iPod's cache.
