CD cleaner:

I still think CD cleaners are kind of silly but I take pretty good care of
my discs and haven't had any skipping problems that weren't quickly wiped
off. But for those interested I saw that Radio-Shack has a lower cost
version of some CD cleaners I've seen. Page 26 of the new RS catalog: $12.95

Laser MTBF:

The playing time of my year-old Sony D5 CD player is approaching 1000 hours
(average of 3 hours/day) I'm wondering if anyone out there has had their
laser fail yet (on any player) and what time and money cost it entailed?
They story is that the laser is supposed to last 2K hours or more so
I'm not worried about my particular player but some of you I'm sure
have had their player for some time now.
