spam: RE: [TheForge] Chisels now Library

[Michael Horgan]

Roger, I did have some problems with the discs I got from you... but only 
when I played them on the laptop. They work just fine in the portable dvd 
player, or in the player in my living room.  On the other hand, you're not 
the only one with disk failures.  The Abana disk I got of the stuff in the 
Gallery @ Flagstaff is now unplayable.  I've used it a half dozen times, 
but when I pulled it out of the box a few weeks back no reader I have could 
find any data. Guess I'll have to order another.
