Parents, talk to your children about rubber bands...
If you have a need for "rubber bands", investigate "plastibands" at
your local office supply place. They're not latex, but rather a
polymer (polyurethane?) that doesn't degrade (as quickly as latex)
and can also be used to replace broken tension bands in DC tape carts
as well as drive belts on a few minifloppy drives.
