    I found it so funny, I had to tell you guys...so even if you don't scan your discs now, it can be contagious. You have been warned

    How dare you! Your poor mum is now an addict! She will have fun smacking you with kippers for real! Now she will want her own computer (bigger and better than yours). A new burner every month and at least 400 blank discs on hand at all times. Two 300gig hard drives to keep her collection of funny pics and her own copy of Borg Puss magazine. You are really a bad person Arachne!

    LOL, no Kipper for you, imkidd - I knew what you meant

    @wobble - she already has her "own" PC (my other one, a Celly 1.2 gig)...and I leave discs over there, should she need them

    Not sure about BorgPuss, don't put ideas into her head

    Hehe, she knows about MIDs, DVD Identifier, the lot...she even knows to avoid Ritek -Rs, and stick to Verb and TY - I have her trained well

    Phew! Thank goodness...

    Seriously though - nice work! Your mum will be the 'Lead CD Freak' of her friends.

    You must already know the next stage though: persuade her to sign up here .

    What, you think I'm silly enough to leave my nice TY stuff at my mum's house? You must be kidding, the TY stays with me

    @wobble - you want a Kipper slap?
