Down the rabbit hole
I always feel like Sheldon Cooper and his mortal enemy list on his 5.25"
disk from the Verbatim Corporation. Just that I have all my tapes with a
special number and tape title printed out and inserted in the edge of
each and every tape. I set the list up on the PCW9512 and still refer to
it so if I fancy a bit of M-People or Ten Sharp or Yello or Aztec
Camera. I simply refer to my list on the PCW9512 and I'll get there in
minutes. I have an old kitchen hatch that I converted to a tape storage
unit, plus I have a shelf unit filled with tapes. Was quite popular in
its day to have copies on tapes of all your records.
Those were the days.....
We better not start talking about vinyl or I'll be all the way back to

By the way this page has my Sharp X-Bass that I still in the pictures
there. Great machine. In a time when graphic equalisers were all the rage.

I think the last vinyl album I bought was SO by Peter Gabriel and the
last tape was probably The Division Bell by Pink Floyd. That was the
last number anyway... right next to Kylie

Tape had its place. A wonderful period and one that I really do
treasure. Bit longer than Mini-Disc anyway.
