About time

an anachronism, should be buried alongside Video cassettes.

Apparently Currys have said that once existing stock is gone they won't be restocking

I've got a little collection of tapes that'll I'll always keep, just to remind myself. Sure it's easy enough to just dump them on the computer (saw this the other day - http://www.firebox.com/product/1700?src_t=t20 ) but it's not just the same. I'm keeping a select number of LPs, too.

They've been more or less dead for about 10-15 years now, I'm surprised theyve lasted so long.

What happened to DAT,MiniDisc,and all the other cassette replacements?

[HG]

They couldnt keep up with cd's

[Wil]

I've still got a stack of mini discs and a md player in the car. They were a nice step on from the cassette and the sound was at least equal if not better than an Mp3.

I never got to muck around with DAT

I am trying to find out who made a collection of cassettes that I had when I was little. It was a Yellow Bear that held about 10 cassettes of children's songs in it. I would love to find one for my daughter. If anyone has any idea I would love to hear them!

[Heather74]

Will take a look later..what sort of year are we looking at?
