I was captivated by this, and slightly relieved when they issued a request 
at the end of the program for any examples that viewers might have if they 
thought they might be the victim of cd-eating fungus (CEF).  THe fact that 
they had to ask means it can't be horribly common, which is good news.

Off topic, but this was an interesting story aired on an ABC
(Australian Broadcasting Commission) science program last night.

Given the recent debate in this group about the longevity of
various types of media, a CD-eating fungus could rethink our
archiving strategies.
