| Is there a reason why type 3 tapes didn’t catch on? I used the TDK SA-90s and Maxell XL-IIs and certainly cost impacted what tapes I purchased.Incidentally, the tapes I created are still functional.

The prick is inside the Porsche!Life is about the journey - being good at something isn't a prerequisite to enjoy it.You do you, I'll be me. | |
