[pchelpers] Re: cd bursts in cd rom

Hi Tonia: There was a nic in the hole of the cd-- I think it just
spread- and crack right up or the material is too hot to handle
hehehe!!!! My tray opens and shut ok-- but I am not using it until I
take my cd rom apart-- and shake all the pieces out-- Right now I am
down with pleurisy-- I have to take it very easy-- until I can get
better. I use my WTLIB every day--
Now I am without a copy-- anyhow-- see you later on-- I am coughing so
hard my ribs hurt-- take care now Agape-Jackie
