Remember cassettes? (Part two)
Andy Monfried writes a paean to Maxell tapes in his blog, You ain’t gonna learn what you don’t want to know.
I remember in the early 90s when we used to imagine how eventually trading would be digital - it would happen directly online. How cool that would be.
Along the way we lost some of the charm and the social interaction of cassette tape trading.
And, just like one of his commenters, “I still have an unwrapped Maxell XLII 90 min, ready to go!”

Thanks for the pointer to that post. I remember longing for the digital days as well, only to be disappointed when they finally got here. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed the ritual of trading until I lost it.
