RIP, Lou Ottens, inventor of the cassette tape

I would probably be a wealthy man today if not for the cassette tape. Each of those cases holds 12 cassettes, times X cases, plus Y number of cases not in the photo = $$$. Actually I found the tapes held up very well, Maxell was my brand of choice. It was the cassette decks that always started eating tapes or died on me. No telling how many of those I went through over the years, especially the car decks! I am proud to say I managed to avoid the 8-track tape.

 

Another link saying even the cassette is trying to make a comeback, maybe I can buy a new boom box that works!
