Brian,

        Can't say that I have, YET.  But *IF* I really wanted to "kill" a CD I'd nuke
it, take it outside to the sidewalk drop
it put my foot on it and do the "twist" on top of it.  Flip it over and repeat,
THEN break it up into a "gazillion"
pieces.

        I don't know, I know that I wouldn't want to try it.  As it might make a bit of
a mess inside of your CD-ROM. . .

Herman
