Sound like some serious Error, right? Wrong. It's just that *poor* Housing
SUN built around the Drive which allows the CD to be *dirty beyond Reada-
bility* after two or three Months of *very* light Use. When Joe gave me the
Hint, I wiped the CD and Caddy and everything was fine again. ARGH. I'll try
to find some Cleaning Kit and then I'll tape that Thing tight. Hmmm ...
I just see that my QIC-150 isn't *that* airtight either ...
