Me either. I had a commercial CD that I kept "pristine". When it
wouldn't read correctly, I held it up to the light and could see
pinpoint holes large enough for tiny shafts of light to come
through. Using magnification the holes looked like corrosion had
'eaten' away the substrate material as if tiny moths or worms were
inside the plastic. As I said, this disc was pristine, always in a
case, no scratches, nothing except internal corrosion that destroyed
it from inside itself. Probably not that common an occurrence, but
what can you do when it happens?
I agree, burned media is a real let down when it fails I have a
retail Leopard 10.5.4 in the box that goes up the aisle and fails at
the alter. And I can't get Apple to replace it hence the .dmg and
Toast copy of every install disk I have and a CCC of every volume.
