Putting a toe into the clutter

[urbpan]

Inspired by the great 2009 Massart (and associated industries) Facebook old photo explosion, I started looking through one of a million bags (and boxes and containers and so on) of old photos. Daunted, I managed to throw out about 20 blurry pics of nothing in particular. But I also came across a handful of cassette tapes. It occurred to me that as I go through all of my belongings, at some point I am going to stumble upon a few hundred cassettes. We do have a tape deck in our stereo, but we almost never use it.

Anyone want a huge box full of cassettes? It's probably a cool retro thing to have, but I see it as allergy-inducing junk.

a friend of mine found some way to convert his cassettes into digital files, but it's time consuming. It has to be done in real time.

Yeah, that ain't happening. I'll probably save some that I think are precious, but most of it isn't worth the time and bother.
