Allan: Everything I've heard about disc cleaners is "don't". If you do, exercise EXTREME caution and make sure none of the fluid comes in contact with any part of the drive. Better: treat your discs with great respect and don't let them get dirty. In seven years, I have never had a need to clean a disc. If an accident happens, and a big smudge gets on a disc, try a very soft dry cloth first. I have heard of Smrtdrive being used, and there is another clled Speedcache+. I am not familiar with the other package you named. Hope this helps! – Rich Bowers

Rich, you are saying that the MS Smartdrive will cache a CD-ROM???? -Bill

Bill: I must've mis-spoke myself. Isn't there a caching product with a similar name? Rich

Bill: >>you're in charge here!<< Sure, just call me Big Nurse <g>. Seriously, I am not a pc user and thought the product had been mentioned as a cacher, but I probably jumped in too quickly. Sorry about that. I hope I didn't lead anyone astray. Best – Rich

I'm not a programmer, but it seems only a matter of time before somebody comes out with such a shareware product, I'd sure pay 25 bucks for it… -Bill
