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 pureé 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.
