[ale] Exploding CD?!?

[Ron]

Don't think it has too much to do with the CD-drive, but more the
quality of the CD media and the balance of the CD media.  The company I
work for also does CD duplication.  If the labels are not centered or
the "paint" is not applied evenly, they will shatter in high speed
CD-drives.
