8 Track Tape Day!

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Fri Apr 11, '08, 6:47 pm

Today, April 11, is Eight Track Tape Day!

Anyone remember those old Eight Track Tapes? For those of you who are too young to know, they were how people listened to music years ago, before the CD, etc., was ever used.

Eight Track Tapes were invented by William Lear, the same guy who invented the Lear Jet Plane!

It is amazing how the world of music has progressed in recent years. And, it's a good thing to. You can still find those old Eight Track Tapes around in various places though, especially yard sales and flea markets, etc.

Anyway, happy Eight Track Tape Day! And, if you've got 'em, play 'em today, lol! :wink:
Good Friday ~ March 29, 2024

I used to have some of those, a few years ago. I wonder what I ever did with them. I've covered a lot of my cassette tapes and CD to digital, so I wonder if I could do the same with those. Hmm...

We still have a functional collection of tapes here. Dunno what they were supposed to do. I still remember the phonics tapes that I listened to as a little brat.
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....
