Lecture de Cassette

june 19, 2014.

Some time ago, I found this little yellow-greenish piece of paper on the pavement not far from where I live. Hand written, on its two sides, were detailed instructions - in French - on how to operate a cassette player.

As this is knowledge that is likely to soon become forgotten knowledge, you may want to bookmark this page for future reference.
