Pretty nifty. I think I'd be a little disappointed after I finished the project. While it works great, it isn't so useful :^D

Yeah I love how he put so much thought into things like the user control and full menu driven interface. The fact that programs can be edited and read from txt files and everything. Even the bezel and LCD is sleek. It's like it was deigned as a real retail product. Then you compare that to what it does and .... :\

The thing is, his machine doesn't really use the tape as it should, I want to see him store and load programs off of the tape, dang it!

I think that's just due to the short demo. I don't see why it can't work that way. It's like an old school cassette drive, just a little older school :^D
