Oct 24 2007Mix Tape Flash Drive Is Retro-Modern
The MIXA is a 1GB USB drive that looks like a cassette tape. It takes this idea to the next level. You got to the MIXA website and use some graphic creation software to design a custom sticker for each side of the tape, along with a sleeve to store the drive in. It costs $40 for all this action, but you also get some more MIXA stickers and a USB extension cable. Which still doesn't make it worth it. Now I'm no handyman, but I've got the feeling I'm capable of wedging a $10 flash drive into a cassette tape and printing off some stickers of unicorns and kitties to slap on. Which will leave me with about $25 left over to apply to a MIXA when my shit falls apart.

Or, spend $40.00 on a smaller usb drive with more memory. One that won't make you look like a hopeless 80's throwback.

Hadouken! did it first. Not too important, but worth remembering when any music that is acquired legitimately in the future, if any, is delivered on USB flash memory.

Personally I think this 80's throwback POS could possibly get me out of the dog house. I just put my order in for a hokey one for my girlfriend. Ah yes, nostalgia on all kinds of different levels!

very very worthless, since it seems as the USB connector doesn't fold in.
