...But even 84 minutes would not be long enough to handle the
standard C-90 cassette of which there must be billions.  Are YOU
trying to rip us off with YOUR proposal?

But even a 90 minute disk wouldn't be long enough for TWO C-60
cassettes, of which there must be millions.  Who is ripping off
whom here?

But even a 120 minute disk wouldn't be long enough for TWO C-90
cassettes.

And they would have to go to maybe 6 hours for some operas.

On the other hand, they did it with Video tape, why not CD disks, eh?
