Not to disagree with the Kid, but...
There recently have been in stores Flourescent lightbulbs. Yep, fit in
your traditional socket BUT last 10x longer and use less power. A bit more
initially, but... HOWEVER, your typical consumer models your typical
producer since the majority of these light bulbs sit on the shelf
collecting dust, while the cheap traditional filament type fly off the
shelf at your local Meijer. Oh-well. Being the student of Environmental
Science that I am, I'm forced via peer pressure to buy the flourescent
bulbs. [Less electricity use, plus take up less space in the local landfill
due to their longer life.]
Plus why would PDO purposefully cause the pressing error, and then offer to
replace any "disc rot" cds for free? Seems like they are more likely
lossing money on the mistake.
Sorry Kid, just can't agree with you here.
