On a similar note, don't be tempted to place a blank audio optical disk in a home stereo system, especially one of those AIWA things with a rotating tray. It has the fun side effect of picking the disk up, spinning it up, CONCLUDING THERE IS NO DISK PRESENT AT ALL, then simply dropping it *without letting it spin down first *, dropping the spinning disk onto the rotator tray, which may just be enough for the disc to launch itself off the rotating tray and into the belly of the beast. Ah, the memories of technology from a bye-gone era. -- Kent
