Lou Ottens R.I.P.

Lou Ottens, inventor of the cassette tape died today aged 94. A good innings given many thought he would never C90...

[The Rotrex Kid]

Surely just turn him over and he’s good to go again?

I think he streched it to that last bit after the red marker just before the tape ended.

A minute's silence tape hiss in his memory would be a fitting tribute,

[valiant]

I wonder if his coffin will have a little tab you can poke out with a biro?

[dandarez]

94 is a good innings so I'm not gonna get chewed up about it.

[Evercross]

Rather than give him a funeral it would be more fitting if they just dumped his coffin in the central reservation of a motorway....?!

I only ever gave him 6 out of 10 for the cassette - he never sorted the way that cassettes always tangled and mangled the tape.

[Camelot1971]

I wonder if Dolby a good turn out at his funeral?

Cheesy peeps , you must have counted the days, months and years waiting for poor Lou to pass
so you could unleash that joke.

Congrats.

That wasn't the cassettes fault, it was the player !

I’d pause on making any more accusations if I were you.

I think the two were developed together. You can't have one without the other.

[Escort3500]

It’s a Sony state of affairs

Maybe I should reverse that statement.

'course you can, but neither would be of much use.

Precisely.
