This why I love digital music. I am realy bad at caring for CDs. I have gotten to the point that I get a CD and burn a copy to start with. I put the original away. Trashing a $15 music CD is one thing but I would trash $700 computer application CDs, also. Even when the company is willing and able to replace it, it is $35 to $40. If the application is older you can only upgrade to a newer version; Ouch! Sandor, I guess even old dogs learn painful lessons.
