For you analog fans and tape heads...
Recently there was an interesting piece on NPR radio (www.npr.org) on the Thursday (7/7) Morning Edition. This feature addressed the decline of analog (studio) reel to reel recording technology as well as the Library of Congress converting their vast collection of reel to reel tapes to an unspecified digital format for posterity. The piece also includes a prediction that the cassette too will be gone within five years.

If the link is broke, just go to npr.org and look for Morning Addition, and click on Previous Show until you arrive at the show that was originally broadcast on 7/7. The news piece titled Analog Tape Fading Into History is about half way down the page.
