Digital Compact Cassette was a format from the early 1990's that didn't quite work out. What also didn't quite work out was my attempt to get a Philips DCC 900 deck operational again.

Bummer!!! :( Everything here was cringy to watch :( I do like the little "live" reaction inserts like you did with that old Mac that you managed to repair in the second attempt. Do keep those coming.

As of late, I'm wondering why some of your videos have the cool tech-y intro but some do not, like this one

There's a couple of reasons for it. In some cases, the way I end up writing the script don't really leave room for it -- we get into the story right away, so trying to drop in the intro sequence would break things up in a way that seems unnatural. The other reason is that I'm slowly trying to move away from using an intro sequence. They date back to the days of broadcast TV, where you could be flipping through channels but not know what shows are on. Intro sequences were meant to "sell" the show so that a viewer would get an idea of what it was about, and convince them to keep watching (instead of changing the channel). I don't really need to do that with a YouTube video since viewers already know what the episode is about even before they start watching.
