You know, in this day and age the majority of hackers have probably never
seen tapes spin except in movies.  Unfortunately I also fit in this
category.  When you find one, let me know and I'll come watch it spin.  My
pet dream from that era is a home machine, an Altair.  There was one in a
computer lab at a community college near me, and they wouldn't let me have
it.  It ended up getting trashed.  It was a fully configured machine,
lived in a rack, had two 8 inch floppies, actually still had
documentation.  I know what environmentalists feel when a 3,000 year old
tree gets mowed down.
