Re: Magnetic Tape
I have more songs on these, than on CDs.....listen to them quite often. The only CD player I have is in my PC. The cassette player on the other hand is far more portable comparing, so I can carry it around. Plus I still have my walkman I'd bought in 99.
Does that make me old?

Blank audio cassettes are sold at my local Wal-Mart... They should have on near NYC, eh? And I am certain there are millions of them online on Amazon, eBay, etc.

Well, I bought a box of them at Staples. The guy who found them for me said "Haven't seen those for a while".Blank audio cassettes are sold at my local Wal-Mart... They should have on near NYC, eh? And I am certain there are millions of them online on Amazon, eBay, etc.
How come a box of 7 costs $8 when 30 DVD+R costs $15? Higher production costs?

Well, Florida is still the place to go for old folks. Might be more there just to give them some nostalgia.
Then I remember that these aren't even that old. Technology moves a lot faster theses days.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: Magnetic Tape
Yeah, I think so. An optical disc doesn't have much in the way of moving parts, and they're dirt cheap to mass produce. Cassettes are a little more complicated.Originally Posted by Azathoth

Re: Magnetic Tape
cassettes?
they aren't that old to me-it was common when I was in kuwait-in fact, right up till I left it in 2006. also had an Old phonograph from the 70's
@I.Apache: I use to have that in Kuwait too
I also grew up with a lot of things people my age in the US have no clue about...
I'm also late to the modern technology: didn't get a laptop or mobile phone till I was 17, and I didn't know what a computer even was until I was 9. didn't learn to use one till I was 12. so I have a clear idea what it was like before the information age....

Re: Magnetic Tape
I was using cassettes in my car up until 2 years ago, then my uncle wrote off his car and I scavenged his cd player and speakers before he sent it to the wreckers. My family didn't even have a computer until I was 12(2000), we first got internet(dial-up) when I was 14(2002) and I got my first mobile and laptop in my final year of school when I was 18(2006)cassettes?
