I also had no problems with the first two CD's. However, I did have some troubles with the two that came with the latest issue. The DISC! had several unreadable sections in an otherwise working disc. The supplemental disc (Leonardo) had no cardboard stiffener and was badly warped and totally unreadable on my player. I've sent both of them off to the replacement address listed in the magazine. I'll report back when (if?) the replacements arrive. Robert Wallace robertw@ief.itg.ti.com
