A whole com dedicated to cassette tape futurism? Talk about making my day!

Look at this thing. It makes me feel like this is the iPhone of some civilization. Ubiquitous and ever present. I can imagine the workshop where you see busted ones laying around waiting to donate their parts to ones that are fixable. Some flop sweating nerd looking through a magnifier at one disassembled specimen with the gaze of a Spartan ready to fling a baby off into a pit for being too sickly at birth.

Sorry for ranting there. I normally lurk but you caught me right as I took a fat rip.
