If you spent any time in the 1980s (like most of us) then here's something that you may be interested in.  A cassette to iPod converter!

Hello!!  I can't count how many damn mixed tapes I made in my teens.  Driving tunes, Make Out Tunes, Sappy Tunes, Walking Tunes...

Not only can you convert the songs but you can use it as a walkman if you wish to get all "old school".  

It'll run you under $100, but it'll certainly be a neat gadget to take to work and show the gang.  Now it's a matter of visiting your parents place and checking your old bedroom closet.  

Chances are good your mom has held on to them somewhere!
