The Last Stronghold Has Fallen

According to the New York Times, "The cassette will grow even rarer now that audio book publishers are dropping them." And despite my thankfulness for iPodean convenience, I have an irrational twinge of nostalgia for my Sony Walkman and the mix tapes I made and received once upon a time in 1988.

Do any of you have equally fond memories of tapes? Please share them in a comment below.
