What is up with the the general (ok, I have to admit it’s my obsessions) obsession with those retro mixed tapes. Now we got the Tape USB Hub, the ultimate USB mixtape and the paper folded mixtape version. I’m totally taped out – retro style.
Once upon a time a cassette tape was a passport to blowing a Sunday afternoon making "The Best Rock Collection in the World Ever II", nowadays a computer the same size can power a space station (and store your whole music collection). That’s technology for you.
Something had to be done with all those redundant cassettes, and in a wonderfully retro meets techno moment, a bright spark has neatly inserted a quad set of USB ports into it. Now you can power up all your myriad of USB devices with a blast from the past. There may no longer be tape hanging randomly from telegraph poles around the country anymore, but the icon can live on on your desktop.
