How ironic is it that a day after I just took inventory of all my Poser crap and backed it up onto a bunch of CDs a posting like this comes a long. I've never had a problem with an old "closed" cd becoming corrupted, but I've had it happen a million times with cd's that are left open and then written to later. I always have this fear that one day I am going to come home and all my poser items and free stuff I have downloaded from various sites will be history. I actually thought I was diminishing this from ever happening, but now I'm not so sure. BLAH!!!
