There's a defect in the presentation.

The cassette gets dropped and survives. The Ipod doesn't.

But a cassette doesn't play itself !

A true comparative test would be to drop a cassette 'walkman'
alongside the Ipod - I expect both would break.

For example, I could drop a mini-disc and I'm sure it would be as
durable as a cassette. I wouldn't like to drop my mini-disc player /
recorder itself.

That's all fine and correct. However, Richman't viewpoint of the cassette
format seems to be much closer to the one where the casette plays itself.

Here's an example of his outdated thinking from earlier this year:

"As one who does a lot or home recordings from my LP/CD collection for use
in a
"high-end' automobile audio system (Nakamichi, Audio Arts, MB Quart, Monster
Cable), I've avoided even considering an indash CD player and CD recording
essentially for that reason."
