CDs have been around for 35 years and iPods for 16. By 2001 cassettes only accounted for 4% of all music media sales mainly because major labels stopped using the format.

Mike just turned 28 and he's never used a cassette to the best of my knowledge. I'm seriously surprised how many of you <25 year olds are familiar enough with them to get the joke.

Color me wrong in regard to the MB crowd.
