Scientist finds fungus that eats cd's

Since it is being reported by the Brits, hopefully it will just affect that stuff they call "aluminium".

Call Moulder, Scully and Doggett.

Lucky that we have something called Lp..... and another really good reason to stay away from the over-rated SACD,
DVD-audio......

This was reported a year or two ago by someone at the Asylum. They too were located somewhere in South America and had a 300 disc changer fully loaded. We assumed that the "fungus" had somehow found its' way into the player, possibly via attaching itself to the oils from his fingers handling the CD's when initially installing them. Once there, it seemed to thrive inside the player due to the heat from the motor mechanism and light from the laser along with the already high humidity content that was present in that area. While most of us gave him the "thorough cleaning" of cd's and "disinfecting" the internals of the player routine, i don't think that the involved party ever reported back on what happened. Either way, i'm assuming that it was not good. Sean

Sean: If this is the same story that I heard it did not have a very happy ending (the fungus ate his cheap cooking utensils and lawn furniture as well:-).
