Next you're going to tell me that you know how significant a matchbook is to an 8-track tape.
They were my parents' old ones. We used to get audiobooks from the library too. I almost wrecked one of them.

Must have been a reel page turner.

Probably another ten or twenty years before it could be used as an "age test". This being a music forum throws the curve too.

CDs have been around for 35 years and iPods for 16. By 2001 cassettes only accounted for 4% of all music media sales mainly because major labels stopped using the format.

Mike just turned 28 and he's never used a cassette to the best of my knowledge. I'm seriously surprised how many of you <25 year olds are familiar enough with them to get the joke.

Color me wrong in regard to the MB crowd.

I borrowed a lot from my dad as a kid. My mate also has a lot of cassettes for his car. I got him Naked City's Torture Garden right before he got his DUI and couldn't drive for a year.

I also used to run a side business converting tapes and home video VHS tapes to mp3 and DVD formats for preservation purposes. So on top of that I probably know all the VHS knowledge you could throw at me.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.
