Maggie's Farm

Ah, the "humanistic" approach. Very brave of you. I went through disc cases and jewel box trees and great big 264-disc binders and finally bailed out and bought my first carousels. Been in hog heaven ever since.

I updated the page, as you saw. The Editor's comment reminded me that I hadn't been clear about differentiating between CDs and DVDs. He's certainly right about audio CDs -- I ripped all of mine to the 'puter years ago. The carousels are mainly for DVDs.

"Is that a hummingbird sucked into the front cooling fan. Mean!"

By that logic, it's "mean" to kill turkeys and chickens, too, right? If I want a little hummingbird sauce on my burger, how the hell else am I supposed to get it? Or are you arguing that it's more humane to shoot or poison it, rather than slowly slice it into hummingbird pure� with the dull fan blades?

"I have five DVDs. I've watched two of them twice. I wonder what the difference is in people who watch movies once and those who buy them?"

FWIW, I've never bought a movie in my life. But there are definitely those types who never watch a movie or read a book again, and those that do. Neither of my parents had ever watched a movie over again in their lives, yet I've watched "Smokin' Aces" five times over the past two weeks.
"Doc, do those things stack?"

You bet. Five high, although I thought that was a bit much so I put a small table above the bottom two carousels and then stack four on top of the table (another one's sitting in a different place).

Try coarse sandpaper, or perhaps acetone. On the disc, I mean, not your tongue. You're obviously not cutting through the 3/4" of grime, mold and sludge effectively. A good sharp chisel might also do the trick, and I've found a #3 blowtorch to work miracles on balky discs.

And no need to thank me for sharing my expertise. That's what I'm here for.
