       @icedquinn@blob.cat Was curious.  The tapes themselves are still reasonably priced.  But good lord are the drives pricey. ​:sadge:​

       @miscbrains@misc.brainsoap. ye. the patents have to have expired by now. i guess it just hasn't been cool to bring them out of the weird HP/IBM price range
