Big throwback!

I used to save my weekly allowance in Form 3-5 to buy mixtapes (FPM, DefBoys, ETC, HowieT, Music3000), then do my own mix using their mixes.

I feel I was real DJin back then.

Ruined all of them by magnetization - stored the showbox of tapes too close to some open subwoofers.

still have 2 working Walkman and lots of cassettes, even have a couple double cassette players but what I want is a Sharp GF-555 but prices on ebay ridiculous now

the walkmans you would get in the west were much larger than the fancy ones sold in the eastern hemispere
I had a padna who got one from singapore,

it was literally just a little bigger than the cassette case and had a detachable aa battery

I just got rid (gave away) of a couple boxes of tapes, the only ones I wanted to keep were the mix tape ones but don't even have one of them left- all my Laundry, Howie-T, and a quite alot of Dr. Hyde (incuding specially made ones) all missing. All I seem to have left is the Iron Maiden, random early 90's bands ans stuff I dont remember buying

Still have bunches of cassettes, 45's and 33's. and one 78 somewhere.

Unfortunately, the Victrola gone through so the 78 can only collect dust.

Id "auto reverse" they call it. D90 was plenty music but it used to put a strain on the drive belt. Real memories they! I also used to save my school money to buy tapes back in the day.

never liked 90s...always ended up 'dragging'
Pretty much everything I had was on TDK SA60s

Oh yes, the days of presenting a document full of random characters and claiming the floppy corrupted your assignment.

abbow · Postby **abbow** » August 27th, 2023, 11:14 am

just last week I was showing my son what cd's/ YT replaced - cassettes and what the flashdrive replaced - floppy disks

thats when i,again, realized i getting old fast.....

Postby **Duane 3NE 2NR** » August 27th, 2023, 12:09 pm

I need to get a cassette player yes - have a bunch of old cassettes, can't even remember what on some of them.
Always wanted one of those Technics or Nakamichi cassette decks

To think our generation went through almost every form of physical media until there was no more physical media.
From 8-track tapes, cassette, vinyl 33 and 45 records, CDs, MiniDisc, CDRW, floppy disk 5¼" and 3½", Zip-disk, BetaMax, VHS, laserdisc, DVD, Bluray, flash drive - now everything is streaming or downloadable.
