RE: CDs damaged

Dang...

Kodak used to make cd's with protective plastic coating on the topside, but
they were mucho more expensive (like $2 to $3 per disk).  I don't know if
they are made anymore.

Andrew, were all of them damaged?  If any were good, please e-mail me the
list so I don't re-dupe them (if you haven't already).  I'll get started
tomorrow.

Later,
Rob
