I note that most of our car makers in Downunderland have announced that they will not have cassette players in the next models to be released, but are switching to CD players instead. But how about all those people who like to listen to favourite tapes which won't be available on CD, and all the folk - like me for example - with a car full of tapes from radio broadcasts? In ten years or so, (when I'll be looking for my next car) even the second-hand cars will all have CD's but no cassette systems! And I'm willing to bet that there won't be any economical way of recording from cassettes to CD!

Luddites unite.... You have nothing to lose but your tapes. It hasn't been the same since the wax cylinders disappeared..... and all my granny's old 78's with such gems as "Doo Wacka Doo" and "The Drage Way"
