I own one, but you'd do just as well with a polishing cloth. I'm convinced that CD makers use a scratch-prone plastic just to ensure a limited life-span. You can't tell me that scratch resistant plastics can't be made with the correct refraction index for the laser to work properly. Keep in mind the etched surface (or whatever its called) is not permanent either, and will eventually lose information.

I figure microcracks are developing in the plastic andf are filled by the liquid. It works. When that happens, I make a new archival copy CD/DVD.

Either it worked, or the drive read the disk correctly becasue it wanted to, at least it's non-destrutive and reversible (as Windex is). --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

There probably will be a charge to replace the disk but Visual Studio 6.0 is on their list: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/284230 Paul ~~~~ Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic)
