Honestly, I was just remembering what it was like to use cassettes as my
main storage medium and wondering how much data could be stored on an
old-style cassette vs. a CD-R. Which got me to thinking about ripping
all my CDs onto CD-R (in MP3 format). And that made me wonder how many
CD-Rs it would take to hold my whole collection vs. how many cassettes
(when used as equivalent of a hard drive, as we did Way Back When).

(I know... convoluted.)

My brain seems to have a circuit-breaker-like mechanism that, when I get
confused and befuddled by the overwhelming monstrosities of my life,
causes a default to the simplest and most pleasant of thoughts. Like
Marshmallow Peeps. I *like* Marshmallow Peeps.
