Dennis: Good point, but this thing is pretty damn old -- I bought it in early '98 at a local computer show from the legendary Two Guys and a Goat company. The drives that are going belly up are of more recent vintage. I expect that the root problem is that some guy at LG figured out a way to save 1.4 cents on each drive. I'll find out when my 9.2 CD's arrive. (Note to self: Start the install well before the local stores close.) -- cmg
