True, some of the caddies were a crap design, but if CDs had been made like 3.5" floppies from the get-go (audio and data discs), we'd be in a lot better position. Scratched and scuffed discs wouldn't be an issue, nor finger prints, nor badly placed labels. All of that would be on the outside of the case, not on something that drive is trying to read. -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
