Yeah, I thought it would be less but I was being conservative. A quick Froogle search turns up one for $24+shipping.

If you just want the tape part and just run on batteries for now, the tape typically runs around 10 bucks that can be found at any major retail chain (walmart, target, etc)

I'm not quite sure on this, but I believe there's a special drive you can buy for a computer that will handle cassettes.

I just remember reading some stuff about these drives you put into your computer (much like a HDD, or a zip drive probably), and it will handle the reading/writing of cassettes.

When I get home, unless someone beats me to it, I'll search on Best Buy and see if I can find one less than 149.99 (since my school blocked most of those sites).

It used to be that computers didn't have hard drives OR floppy drives. They had tape drives, with some using regular cassette tapes.

Here is the Plus Drive 2 at Thinkgeek that Joesph pointed out. And the companies website.
