ARGH! is right.  After Thad's warning, I took out my Chain Reactions.  I've had
one in the bedroom that wouldn't play on the boombox there and I thought it was
the problem of the old boombox.  It turns out to have major cracks, two of them,
going more than halfway across the disc.  It's a coaster now.  The rest of mine
are fine, and now reside in jewel boxes.  This warning is not a hoax.
