Sure, but with the cost of floppies and even RAM and flash drives, there'd
be little point. Cassettes were really for those that couldn't afford any
other form of storage, and are really a poor way to store data, despite
being kinda neat in their own strange way. Besides, it may takes hours to
load :)

Doesn't it make you sick to see how quickly that stuff looses it's value?
I've started getting hardware used or at least "trailing edge" just to
avoid pumping a lot of money into something that will soon be
worthless...and because I don't really need that much to do what I'm
doing.
