When I was in college I had to deal with reel-to-reel tapes, the cassette was just making its appearance at RFB as I was leaving. Now talk about a pain, those tapes were a pain, especially if they got tangled.

I depend less every day on the archaic cassette. I do however remember when we first were given them and, at that time we thought, what a break thru. If you really want to become cassette free you might consider purchasing a plex talk p t r. I bought one about a year ago and love it. Phil Parr.
