And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Yeah but THAT problem was caused by cheap manufacturers of tape decks and people who abused them and NEVER cleaned them. That's why CDs were invented - for all these stupid people. The inventors actually told people that they could be used as a coaster and they would never fail to deliver high fidelity sound. And all the stupid people bought into it.
I still own a cassette recorder similar to that. Way back around 1970, I modified it to use an external 6-volt lantern battery to play cassettes at Boy Scout summer camp. That one lantern battery would last through a week-long summer camp, instead of always having to replace the four C batteries.

ReplyDeleteI just got a cassette player to convert some audio tapes to cd. Can't find some of the old audio tapes I have already on CD so I'll do it myself.
ReplyDeleteI bought a "Dansrue" Super USB Cassette Capture to convert cassette recordings to .mp3 files. Whatta nifty thing it is!
DeleteA #2 pencil would solve most of that.
ReplyDeleteAnd a little patience…
DeleteAfter several plays, you needed to fast forward, then fast rewind to prevent that.
ReplyDeleteLearned that from 8-tracks.

ReplyDeleteI think I still have a Kansas Left Overture cassette album somewhere. My current truck has a cassette player factory installed.
ReplyDeleteRight.
ReplyDeleteInstead of losing one album, costing $6-8, you lose the entire hard drive, costing you hundred$.
Progress marches ever forward.
