You’d expect the computer to detach and fit in your pocket. I was not prepared for the microcassette recorder to also detach and be so smol.

Any UK fans want a freebie grab bag of cassettes? I have...erm...a somewhat sizeable stockpile...of tapes that I need to thin down into a smaller, more curated collection.

Here's the deal: you give me a genre, list of artists, or a time period and I'll try to include at least some to suit. The rest will be selected at random from 4,000 items.

I'll send you 15 tapes (you tell me how many you want) for a fixed postage cost of £5.

That's it. No tricks. Just free tapes!

Please boost.

We Americans like to laugh at the load-times of old micros from across the pond, but it's not that different than loading a shockwave game over , and not much more expensive.

I now have one of these: a eraser. It not only comes in handy for audio tapes I want to re-record, but also computer tapes as well. Just tried it and it works like a charm! Now where is that defective Theatre Europe tape I have? I can finally clear it and dump a fresh image onto it, which will then hopefully work. Anyway, glad to have this!

My buddy Stuart mailed me a of Mark Guiliana’s LP Mischief that he’d bought in at one of Mark’s shows.

It’s cool as hell.

But I no longer own a cassette deck!

Question: are the the kids playing these on cassette decks and in car stereos like we did?
