Got tape?!
« on: March 11, 2021, 09:46:04 AM »
We just lost the inventor of the cassette tape last weekend. Would the Apple ][ (or any of the other first PC's) have thrived without this invention?! :dntknw: Oh yeah, you could record music on those things...

Several "artists" are mentioned that have used these kinds of media very recently. I've heard of two of them! :blush-anim-cl: :laughhard:

It was an astounding invention using a piece of wood for the mock up!! No word on the tree species. I suspect it was California Redwood which eventually lead to Big Sur. :Thinking: :scram:
