Books-on-tape was what we used to call them, once upon a time. Naturally, that was long before CDs, much less digital streaming.

Have you ever purchased one of those “one size fits all” t-shirts only to be disappointed (and surprised) when the shirt doesn’t, in fact, fit as advertised? It’s kind of a bummer, isn’t it?

Are you forgetting something? It isn’t your imagination. Remembering everyday things is becoming harder and harder. Loss of memory seems to advance fairly quickly once it’s detected.
