Gunman, that's easily solved. Try cleaning them with some steel wool. Haven't tried it myself, but it must work a treat.

Don't forget to sprinkle some Ajax on it first.

Dont try and play them on an old fashioned gramaphone either. It doesnt work. The CD players seems to ignore them afterwards too as though they are now unclean in some way!

Log fires. Avoid storing your CDs in a fire. You'd be surprised what can happen

However, also be sure to delete any suspect emails from your inbox straight away.

You could view the mail on the server, and delete suspicious/unwanted mail before it even lands in your inbox.

Bitter experience perchance?

Another tip. Try not to store CD-ROMs in jam. I did it once. Thought the jam would help keep the CDs cool in the hot weather.
