Q So how did, how did this... How did this idea come about?
A Yeah, so this really started about 40 years ago. Uh, when I was little, my grandma lived pretty far away, and she used to get picture books and record herself reading the book onto those old cassette tapes, and then she'd pack it up and send it, and my sister and I would listen on the cassette tape to grandma read us the books. Then, flash forward several decades, my sister had kids of her own, So we pulled out grandma's old tapes, uh, thinking it'd be great for them to hear their great grandma, but if you've tried to listen to those old tapes, they degrade over time, and they were just unusable. So that's when I started thinking about the idea that it'd be great if there was something out there that would, would hold that recording forever.
