This cassette jumped out at me at an antique shop today.

@screambiogenesis BTW, I love this cover for the first song
That's a fun cover!
-
@_the_cloud Oh, good eye! I thought it looked kind of ImageWritery, but I haven't used one since last millennia, so I couldn't be sure. Though you're right that that's pretty obviously Chicago, so I guess I could have been a *little* sure...
@screambiogenesis @_the_cloud I used to make mixtape covers like this with our Mac Plus

Not because of the content. It's just someone's mixtape from 1988.
But I love that whomever made the tape then went over to their computer, loaded up a template or a dedicated piece of software, and printed out a custom j-card on their dot matrix printer. The future was now!
@screambiogenesis and it probably still sounds great!

@europlus @_the_cloud Nice! Do you happen to remember what program you used?

@screambiogenesis @_the_cloud almost certainly MacDraw.
I *may* be able to recover them (only about half my old disks read when I last tried) or I may have already, let me check.

@screambiogenesis @_the_cloud ok, from my phone I can see I have at least two disks of such things recovered via and Applesauce with the files extracted, and although those ones don’t have an audio cassette case insert, the do have a VHS insert which was the size of a VHS tape and had an empty table with (from memory) headings for entering tape contents and counter positions in it.
I’ll check the contents of the other disk images.
I also found (which I knew) my Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein map templates (rooms always had same layout, but didn’t have same contents between “campaigns”), so I know I’m on the right scent…

@europlus @_the_cloud Wow, that sounds cool. I had honestly forgotten about MacDraw and was picturing MacPaint in its place.
Really need to get my SE/30 resuscitated one of these days, it's been too long.

@screambiogenesis That's one of the things I love about that era. A lot of people were quite neat about their floppies too, printing out neat little dot matrix labels. I've got a ton of 5.25" ones like that that I myself made
