Now we have to worry about a fungus that could eat the aluminum from our cd's. Here is the link, just copy and paste.

Sean: If this is the same story that I heard it did not have a very happy ending (the fungus ate his cheap cooking utensils and lawn furniture as well:-).
There was a similar thing called "laser rot" affecting laser discs years ago. It was found to be caused by the plastic not totally enclosing the aluminum disc allowing it to oxidize.
Good. Now if someone can direct me to a mold or bacteria that eats speakers and digital components, I can quit this silly hobby and rejoin the human race.
