Well said :) If the optical media were enclosed in

case (CD caddies,
anyone?) then at least it would go some way toward
preventing damage from
scratches, fingerprints etc.

I remember CD caddies :)
I recall back at secondary school in my first
year there (year 7 for UK'ers), in 1990/1, that
the new computer in the library used CD's
which were in see through plastic.
Essentially the "CD" of the time was like
floppy discs - the writable media (medium?)
was encased in protective plastic shell.
I haven't seen any like that ever since.
I don't suppose anyone on this list has any
like that?? If so, I'd love to see a picture of
it, please.
