You do NOT have kids do you?

I got about 50 cd's I should have sent to you, if you can get even one to
work, I'd likely give you 10 bucks.   all of them the kids tittles like
reader rabbit that no longer read...  One was stepped on, the rest look as
if you played frisbee with them, in a parkinglot.  all of them kids tittles
unless you count the one I had to send to SIerra, because it has been
stepped on (broke it into 2 pieces).

You might say I have outlasted CD's and Byron....  "snap!" as of now,
Hahahahaa....

Sounds like a good idea, but I'm still in the same situation. IF
something happens (the CD drive doesn't like Crest for example), what
then?

Got a link for the toothpaste bath step by step?

  Smear a little toothpaste on the CD/DVD and use your finger as a buff.
Dont let the toothpaste dry too much though else it gets too abrasive. Then
just rinse with water. Especially useful when hiring DVDs.
