Cassettes finally dead?

Some of us need to keep using them until the talking book world catches up at any rate :)

In the meantime - here's 10 uses for your old tapes.

I still have a few tapes. Not many, but a few and some VHS tapes as well.
I need to convert them some time soon, but I always put it off to another day.

Moooooooooooooooooobs! (Man Boobs)

Back in 82 when we got our BBC B with disk drive monitor stand, one of our neighbours asked why we wasted money on disk drives when "tapes would be around forever" :D

I've lots of off-air recordings from the '70's-'80's on cassette which I must get around to digitizing, mostly 'in concert' folk stuff which was never commercially released. I still keep a VHS video player for copying tapes friends have of their children etc, it hasn't been used to record anything for over a year now.

Does that mean my trusty 8-track is now obsolete? :Yikes:
