I'm old enough to know the pencil trick to fix a cassette that got eaten by the stereo....

I still keep a pencil in my car. I know there's no cassette to play, but my car feels naked with a pencil rolling around the center console or in the little tray on the dash.

I also learned how to do this as a child but I am probably a bit younger than you at 18yo.

It was less that we were poor and more that my parents had a lot of music and radio dramas on different media. My father still has more than two hundred vinyl disks that he plays semiregularly and I have an old audio tape player/recorder sitting around in my bedroom although I don't really use that one.

Just having a joke, glad to hear people committed to the old media
