Wow... how did you crack disc media? I don't think I've ever seen radial cracks there...

Speaking of CD longevity - the first CD I ever bought will be turning 17 this year. Went into the ONE bin at A&M Records?!?... long defunct anyway... and picked up a copy of the Pogues If I Should Fall From Grace With God... remember carrying it home like it was the crown jewel... those high-tech compact discs and all!
