Does this mean I can : start using it for a mug holder as well? (Serious here) It really doesn't? Paging Terry Carroll! I've seen the logo that Dan mentioned on every -- well, I guess every -- CD player or CD-ROM drive I've ever seen. The distinctive logo ignores brand names, et cetera. If it chews on a CD, it has that logo on it. I thought there was some legal connection between the hardware and the logo, like trademarking or something. When are you allowed/required to display the distinctive logo? When are you not forbidden/excused from displaying it? Does Brenda just have a stealth CD-ROM drive? Regards Ray
