    Broken Jewell cases were one factor that led me to start burning CDs to a hard drive. If the case fractures off to the computer with the disc!

      Nothing annoys me more than companies who glue the back cover of the (sometimes substantial) booklet inside the front cover of a CD case...meaning that to read the booklet, you have to hold the whole damned thing open and balance the book in your left hand!

        Yes, I end up spilling my Cognac and getting cigar ash all over my chest and lap.

          A strangely unappealing image, if I may say so, though.
          I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

            Don't spoil the polish on the Dynatron.

              Spooky!

                And a rather decadent one, too!

                  I am sitting here musing whether your online nickname results from your penchant for the lint-free gloves? ;-)

                        Probably more for something in 'Veterinary blue' that reaches to the armpit.

                        (they do work …....the cotton gloves that is.)

                          Thanks for the tip regarding the gloves. I'll get myself some as soon as I can.

                            Be a little careful though. The glove will feel more clumsy. I find I only use one glove and that just to get the disc safely from the sleeve.
