Amen, Becky. I signed on to this list three years ago and have never looked back. I originally wanted more info on PPR issues and I have gotten so much more. I have met new vendors, broadened our horizons collection-wise, learned a lot about PPR and copyright, and made some good friends. I thank you all.
We have a Venmill disc cleaner but the machine you mention sounds interesting. I might look into that. Christine Crowley Dean of Learning Resources Northwest Vista College 3535 N.

We have an RTI cleaner, but sometimes, all a disc needs is soft cloth cleaning with a disc cleaner. Does anyone have a Checkflix machine? Do you like it? Is it worth the $750? On another note, I just want to thank all of you for the education I've gotten on this list. Gary, Jessica, Deg, Mike, Randy, and all - You have been so helpful and informative about all things video and more. I thank you in my head everytime someone asks me about showing films to a group or school. Twice this week I had questions about showing films in school for a movie day, and at a college for a film festival. So even though I thank you when it happens, I don't think the rest of us thank you enough, so Thank You! Becky Tatar Periodicals/Audiovisuals Aurora Public Library 1 E.
