Petty SabotageI once put magnets on my brothers collection of ZX81 cassettes, so when he attempted to play them, they were full of errors and yet apparently undamaged. Can you beat that? Tell us your tales of petty sabotage.

Those were the days..Even faster than putting a magnet on the cassettes (at least for the Armstrad CPC464) was to manipulate the data recorder itself by readjusting the reading head with a little screw driver. Kept a friend (CPC newbie) of mine swapping 20 tapes before hinting that every now and then one would have to readjust the data recorder in order to keep it "on track". Childish really ...
