Re: Behind the curve

You can still buy cassette decks for cars, but why would you now that we have CDs? Cassettes (and other magnetic tape media) are one of the few things in the world that will both break if you use them and break if you don't. A CD, on the other hand, will last forever. I still have CDs I bought in the late 1980s that work as well today as they did when new. Keep them out of direct sunlight in your car and don't let them get scratched and they will outlast you. You just need to lay in a supply of players since they're getting harder and harder to find.
