I made an image macro based on this...

Just think, there was a time each of us wound up a tape cassette with a pen for the very last time, and none of us knew when it was.

I changed it a bit and made "each of us" into "some of us" but this post is better as a photo with a question.

    Was still kinda old tech for me as a kid but I had a couple hand me downs from older siblings. Gotta give cassettes one thing over later media in that they are just so satisfying. Everything has a tactile spring and click, and the whir of the tape running or rewinding is soothing.

      I really miss the tactical sense of the pre-digital world. But I don't miss the downsides like the crappy audio of cassettes.
