I think you're overestimating the age of enthusiasts a little. Sure, at least half should get it, but there are a fair few number of people who mostly played arcade games like Gauntlet, TMNT, DD, SF2, MK, etc... People who never needed to keep a penny handy for when the tape wouldn't load properly unless you jammed the lid open the tiniest bit first. Oh, that tape deck was sooooo cooolllll... :cheers:

I definitely had plenty of pennies handy. I had to save them to get a 1541 drive, so I didn't have to deal with those tapes anymore. ;)

Newspaper route paid for my C64. Tape drive came at christmas later (imagine using a computer with no storage device! ACKKK). The the newspaper route paid for a 1541 drive. What a glorious day that was! (I remember paying almost $300 for it. YIKES!)
CCM:
I still have a C64 and 2 1541 drives in the attic. I might have to get them down and see if they still work.
