JVC CD RIP



As I feared, my CD player has bitten the dust. I put a CD in the other night, and it promptly slid off the tray and into the back of the player. A terrible indignity for a Mary Chapin Carpenter CD, but it could not be helped. I eventually retrieved the CD with a bent coat hanger--without scratching it, no less--but the motor on my playe is shot. The laser has been skipping on it lately as well. Since I've had it four years, and it was a gift in the first place, I'm not too uptight about it I am, of course, in dire need of a new one, which I shall have before the weekend is over.
