Um, if you have a lot of scratched DVDs, a SkipDR MD is a good handy ting to have, it also recovers old Operating System CDs for folks. If you have a lot of FRIENDS with scratched DVDs, the whole thing after you get spare wheels is about $60.00 if you buy right. One hint, Osmosis Distilled water is a vERY nice lubricant-- down here, water is bad enough that the snowbirds and new migrators demanded Publix install them, and they did so well that many Publixs have 2-3 for use. Distilled water can be bought most places down here, and the SkipDR MD (electric driven) can get out MOST scratches on DVDs and CDs and officially uses "specially distilled water," which is what Osmosis distillers are putting out. An all cotton terrycloth towel and distilled water spritzer makes a nice pair of things for removing fingerprints-- down here we have lime water, the underpinnings of most of Florida are sand then Limestone fairly deep down to bedrock, so water here from tap has enough chemicals that it is not a good polishing liquid-- good side, distillers are common here.
