    Thanks Sophocles, now you may call me Sir Bear. :) I hadn't noticed the Senior on there until you mentioned it. It happened since I was on last time. I'd say they made me a senior so I would be nicer; but I have always had such a sweet demeanor, how could I improve? ;)

    You guys definitely have earned it. I've thought you were all Senior Member material for a long time. Congratulations on proving me right 8D

    @ brobear...

    Thanks for the link, I did check it out. This topic (disc repair) is being simultaneously discussed here and the 321 Rip forum...so forgive me if I get muddled.

    @ bigo, doc409, brian100 & double d...
    Add my congrats too. I am ignorant of the process and presumably an elevation to Senior Member is accompanied by the usual perks of high office (salary increase, stock options and a better Superannuation plan), so well done! :)

    Ooops, just realised, I forgot to specifically mention brobear's name in my congrat list. My apologies, no offence intended, Oh Esteemed One :).

    (Actually had it in opening of my last post to brobear, then deleted the reference intending to lump all you guys together, then forgot what I had done and then...Ah Heck, you know how it happens. Getting old and forgetful isn't any fun....

    terrytj, it can be fun if ya just know how to go with the flow, I find Jack Daniels whiskey sours with a lot of ice and a cherry does the trick! ;)

    Thanx for the congrats.

    btw, good to see ya at Rip!

    I hear that Jack Black makes a real mean mint julep, also. Or is that just for your friends to the north?

    bigO...unfortunately I am a non-drinker so I cannot find refuge in that comfort. Also don't smoke and my wife won't let me go out with 'bad wimmen'...SIGH :)

    It was funny bumping into some of you at the Rip...didn't realise how connected the circle was.

    I am gong to see if I can get skipDR here, maybe eBay.com.au

    There are 36 pages of "jabber" concerning the question, so I won't bother you with any more. :)

    Yep, somebody beat that one to death. There are at least a good 20 some pages of factual information for one to draw conclusions from. In the end you can notice there were some prominent names left in the standing. From the list and the info you can make up your own mind. In the end we found that it boils down to personal preferences when you deal with top line software programs. Just remember, price is not always a factor and watch out for media hype.

    Thanks for the thought, I think. Just kidding. To all the new Seniors, congratulations. For all the congratulations, thank you. As for being unbearable, not a nice thing to say to a bear. yuk-yuk-yuk, stole that one from a stooge.

    Give them a try, DVD Shrink is free and the others all come with a fully usable trial version. But to ask which best one clicker is better is like coming upon a Muslim, a Christian, and a Jew and asking them what the best religion is. We’ve all come to our own conclusions and I think that most of us are happy with your choices. You could if course review all 800 plus posts.

    Best of luck to you.
