Did anyone ever find C120's useful? I played around with them as a kid; the
thin tape invariably got tangled up in the tape heads/capstan after a couple
of plays....

And of course, there were cheap C60/C90's filled with thin, C120 style tape.
Again, jam city (and not the good, jazzy sort of jam, but a lost tape, and a big mess in your tape transport). I remember the language lab at my university banning certain brands of tapes from their high-speed duplicators for exactly that reason....
