List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Well, seeing as how CD spindles aren't necessarily put together the same way...you might have a problem with the top vs.the bottom. Can't help you there. However, I *can* help you with how to tell the top of the CD from the bottom. If your CD doesn't have any tactile lines on the top as most of mine do not, there is a way. Although, be careful anyway, as I accidentally pasted a label to the wrong side of a CD once. I felt stupid! The data side of a CD has a raised ring around the center, say a half inch larger than the hole in the middle of the CD. They all seem to have this ring, too, so if you see a raised ring like this...it's the bottom. The tops don't have one quite like that. Much easier to show than to explain, but I think you should understand... -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV/3 | I choose you to take up all of my time.
