its my fault... i'm sorry....

But maybe we can relate it back to knoppix....

"if you have a cd rom drive that spins at the speed of light and you put knoppix in it, will it boot?"

[mechmaster]

no problem on changing the subject

Thanks,

ever see the episode of Myth Busters where they tried to work with the complaints that 52x cd drivers made cds explode? I forget what the conclusion was, I think it was possible, but unlikely. The got the cd shards to shoot 3" deep into a replica human though
