I have a Sony UX90 Type II (CrO2) Position High Bias 70us EQ that I carry in my pocket every day.

I still have a portable eight-track player somewhere. Eight D-cells, good thing it had a shoulder strap.

The Washington DC subway system has these reusable fare cards that are really fragile. They crack when you keep them in your wallet and they stop working. I hollowed out this cassette and put the fare card inside to protect it. The wireless signal from the card easily broadcasts through the cassette case.

No, but I can hear it in my head anyway. It's etched in there.

Aye, I had noticed it isn't a working tape. - I bet you get the occasional double take, when people think "What!? You can get through the turnstile with a cassette??"

Nice.

Long ago, my friend would record music on a VHS tape. It held hours of tunes, and during a party, he didn't have to change albums.

On many mice, if you press the center scroll wheel, it puts you in 4-way scroll mode, and all you have to do is move your mouse around to pan.

I have my mouse set up so that pressing that wheel maximizes the window you are in

I have pretty much my entire library of vinyl and CDs converted to mp3s. The Zings graduation parties were pretty much all day things. I never had to touch the music.
