does anyone remember like 3/4 weeks ago when they were selling used PCs down south for 50$, and the mob overtook the store and the riot patrol couldnt subdue the crowd for a few hours? I forsee a repeat.

There is a lot of history on those tapes. It would be like giving up Grateful Dead TAPES. Yes I mean XLII and things like that. I have tons of killer shows, alomst every Simpson, all sorts of live music, etc etc. Throwing in a mystert tape is fun (only a handful have labels

)

I have put bags of my old GD tapes outside of Winston\'s w/ a sign saying take one. I just left 3 vhs tapes of shows I now have on dvd.
