Apparently sometimes the pieces shoot out the disk tray, which is about eye level where I'm sitting, so one could say I'm lucky. One COULD say that, if they forget my CD just exploded taking out my disk drive, which didn't have to happen.
It would seem that this just... occasionally happens. I'm not sure I like that. Now I'll be afraid to put ANY CD into a drive. I don't know!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
