Your Favorite Air Supply Songs on a USB Drive

When people get nostalgic for the bygone days of cassette tapes, it's often for a specific element of that nearly-extinct format: the mix tape. Mix CDs just don't elicit the flood of nostalgia on which High Fidelity scribe Nick Hornby and countless followers have based profitable literary careers. And music-carrying flash drives? There's something about handing over your thumb drive to the person you like that seems, somehow, too impersonal. The Mix Tape USB Drive, designed by Suck UK (www.suck.com). is a sweetly retro way to say you care with a gift that keeps on giving—jams by Journey Foreigner, and Styx, perhaps. No word at press time on capacity or price, but it was slated to be available by the end of September. So start growing your mullet back right now.—Brian Heater for more gearf show reports, and product news, visit Gearlog at www.gearlog.com
