You're correct about the tapes, they soak up the humidity. Most likely none are any use now. I worked in Government data centers and I know what you mean about cheap tapes. The drives were always blamed for data checks when 98% of the time it was the tape. We used to laugh about all those PC's hooked together would replace a mainframe computer.
In the last 13 years of work, I've worked in Modesto many times. Lots of homeless people. Even have a Harley Davidson shirt from there.
