Mike; >> I went home and looked up the name of this thing and it's called CD >> Cubed Not to belabor the point, but I just received a Heartland America Catalog and on the front cover is what I think you are refering to. It is a 16 CD-ROM library with a storage case for 40 CD-ROM's. It costs $99.99. I don't need the CD-ROM's, just the storage case. It appears as though you manually select the title of the CD-ROM you want by sliding a lever back and forth. This moves an arm inside that will then lift that one CD-ROM when the case is opened. Then you can reach in and pick up the CD and place it into your player. Does that sound like what you have? It reminds me of the "old fashioned" alphabetical index's for listing all your friend's phone numbers. You slide the lever to the letter of the alphabet you want, and when you open it, that letter page is open to you. I went to some CD-ROM stores this past weekend, and didn't locate that type of holder. If what I have described sounds like what you have, would it be too much trouble to get; 1. The name of the store where you bought this. 2. The area code where the store is located, or the whole phone number. 3. Or the manufacture's phone number. So that I can see if I can mail order one from them. If what you have is what I see on this catalog, it does look like a very good way to store and retrieve CD's. Thanks Mike; Dennis

Yep, that's the beastie. That's where I first saw it as well (bundled with the CDs) and I was glad to find it on its own. The store I got it from is Schilling's, which may be a local chain (there are two such stores here in Northern Nevada). They sell luggage and other leather items, as well as office supplies and the odd gizmo (which I suppose this falls into as a category). Their number here is (702) 826-0544. I threw away all the literature from the first unit, but I'll be buying a couple of more, and if you haven't contacted the store before then I'll let you know who makes them.
