Well, I can assure you that at least *some* CDR's are indeed "one-plastic/one metal sided," as the lady stated. I had a beloved Uncle Tupelo live show CDR that I spilled some Coke on one day - although it was in a paper sleeve, the acidic "drink" that spilled inside the sleeve actually ate the metal right off the disk face, causing big ole' clear gaps in the CDR and marked depression instead of No Depression. We have a stand-alone CD copier at work that we use, in part, for the exact need that the lady mentioned. Our flight sim lab uses X-Plane, which require the "master" CD in the drive as a key, and these cheap Compaq drives eat a disk up about once every quarter or so (for some reason the edges seem to take a great deal of abuse, to the point where the drive will net read them anymore). We keep the original masters in storage and burn a copy when we need a new one for the lab. Our JAG assured us that, so long as the copies were done for this specific purpose and not for resale, to add to additional computers above the number we purchased, or other "increase" in the number of in-use CD's, it is perfectly legal to copy them. -- ---------- John McKay, Military Historian & Social Studies (History) Teacher Personal Page: http://home.bellsouth.net/personalpages/pwp-fireteacher Georgia Dept. of Defense, Peach State STARBASE Lead Teacher Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
