Think about it -- Almost all instances where you would use this word are going by the wayside, especially this one:
Cassette -- a plastic cartridge containing magnetic tape with the tape passing from one reel to another.
In a previous post I was lamenting about my age, and this one probably shows it better than most. I was around for vinyl records including .45s, 8 track cartridges, and was duly impressed by the cassette tape and so pleased with the first one I had in my toyota celica back in '84 or '85. Since then we have gone through compact discs to downloading on the phone. Unlike our fearless leader, Steve, I have not gone "retro" and starting collecting vinyl again. I've embraced technology and love the fact that I can carry all the music I care to in my phone.
But in it's day this was bad... ass...
