    I would rather have the ability to create clean disks, rather than have
    to try ti fix the dvd players of any friends I loan a dvd to.

    BTW, I found my mail problem, I switched from using courier-imap to
    dovecot for may imap server, because the permission-access for courier
    was too complicated, but I forgot to turn off the rc.d file, so I had
    battling imaps. Very wierd results, which is why it took me so long to
    figure it out, and I let it get out of hand.
