Just a side comment on the CD issues - I have a wallstreet with a DVD-ROM drive which absolutely refuses to read either of the two YDL CD's I've bought (one for work one for home). However it turns
out that if I put just the regular CD-ROM drive in the media bay from another Wallstreet it reads it just fine. I also copied the original CD (to a 700MB blank) and found that the copy worked just
fine in the DVD-ROM drive. My B&W (superdrive) also has trouble with the originals but not with the copy. - so there's something marginal about the duplication process YDL used somewhere.
