Thanks for the great podcast Earl.

It is a very good thing that so many retro computers used tapes for loading programs. They can be used in modern times as a file transfer method of last resort. It is very easy to find a tape recorder to connect to a PC. It is also easy to find tools to record retro files to tape. I had to use the same method once to get a program onto a Commodore 64. First I used DirMaster to copy the .prg files out of a disk image. Then I used Wav-Prg to copy the .prg file to the tape recorder. Then it was easy to load the program on my Commodore 64 using it's tape drive. I have had to do this with other retro computers too.
