Thank you, James. You reminded me some good memories :

Ditto.

Gone from the charts, but not from our hearts.

78 & 45 rpm records, reel-to-reel, 8-tracks, the videocassette and now the audio cassette, had their day. Still, I'll miss the type II cassettes. Even the tape hiss sounded good.

I won't miss rewinding the tape with a pencil.
