I guess I must have missed this (I didn't have time to read all the prior posts in this thread), but to which Mosaic or other box set does this relate?

Same here, and I only order brand-new discs from Amazon Marketplace sellers (including Caiman). Occasionally, an item won't be shipped within 2 or 3 business days (this happens a bit too often with Caiman, albeit not most of the time) and, if they can't tell me when it will ship, I just cancel the order and get a refund within 24 hours through Amazon, and order from someone else. On the whole, though, my experience with many, many CD's purchased from Marketplace sellers has been great.

And don't forget The Bookworm (Roddy McDowell).

What about:

Just got an email from Yourmusic.com informing me that Bill Evans' "Conversations with Myself" is no longer available and has been removed from my queue. Guess they don't always give a warning even when something's in your queue.

Do tell. Actually, we got into a discussion about this a couple of months ago in another thread, and I listed some of Philly's extraordinary--if unsung--features and attractions both here and here.

Let's see--how many Conference Championship games have the Giants or the Jets been in the last 4 years?

Well why else would anyone move to Philly??? (Just kidding--I'm actually a big Philly booster and think there are many, many great things about it that, unfortunately, are not well known to the rest of the world. )

You didn't happen to see Freddy Kruger in your rear-view mirror, did you???

Thanks for the heads-up, Erik and Chuck.

The Board seems slow this morning, especially going from thread to thread.

Well, there's always this high-tech sanding device (sandpaper not included):

Sounds like you got the Black & Decker Mouse, which is a very flexible and useful sander. But the nice thing about a random-orbital sander like the Porter-Cable for the larger flat areas is that the sanding disc moves in a random orbital pattern while it spins (hence the name), significantly reducing or eliminating the chance of getting sanding marks like the ones it sounds like you got with the drill attachment. It may be overkill for your needs but, if you're going to be doing a lot of flat sanding, it makes it easier, faster, and relatively foolproof.

You're gonna melt those CD's with all that laser-wear.

You're right--he is a bit paranoid. BTW, I know you're moving to Philly just to stalk me.

You'd probably get much better results with a random orbital sander. Porter-Cable makes the most popular and best-rated. If this is something you're going to be doing repeatedly, it's probably worth the investment. You might also want to check out the Dremel detail sander kits for getting those little hard-to-reach places and edges. Just a thought.
