    That's what it looks like but, again, it wasn't like that when I first opened it. It sort of took an hour to ... grow (?) (like Topsy!) I'd agree with you except that it was sitting right next to some other (non-WAC) discs and the WACs are the only ones that seem to be affected Thanks...

    Yeah, like that delicious dish, Ethel Merman! :P (and in the stage show, the cigarette girl was Betty Grable!)
