<Yersinia, I found this happens a lot with older machines - I get a
lot of trayloaders and 350 iMacs donated by a private high school
which I set up in some our smaller rural schools. I think I am pretty
careful, keeping them in a CD folder distributed by Apple New Zealand
when they are not being used, but I have had a lot of disks go like
this, which I have just put down to dirty or damaged CD drives in the
machines. I have learnt to always keep the original at home and use
copies! Only problem being I can't copy the OSX system disks so a few
of them have gone west too!>
Hmmm, well, these are OS 9 CDs... a 9.0 and a 9.1. And no, I have never
left them "out" anywhere -- they've always been either shut up in their
cases or in the CD drive being used. No one touches them but me, and when
I handle them, it's carefully, touching the edges only, not the actual
surfaces.

"A mighty creature is the germ,
Though smaller than the pachyderm.
His customary dwelling place
Is deep within the human race.
His childish pride he often pleases
By giving people strange diseases.
Do you, my poppet, feel infirm?
You probably contain a germ."
