Scientist finds fungus that eats cd's

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.

i've been led to believe that the fungus can be defeated merely by coating all your cd's (and other aluminum discs) with a moderately thick layer of vasoline. FWI, speakers and digital components seem to respond best (on the anti-fungal front) to k-y jelly. or so i'm told. -kelly

Whew!!! Just bought my Oracle in the nick of time. Can we apply Lotramin to our CD's?

I remember laser rot. Pioneer offered free replacement.
