I would want to know for several reasons. 1) To find out if a disc is poorly manufactured or has been badly mangled, so that I can return it or buy a new copy, so as to avoid getting to the point of distortion. 2) To find out if my player error circuits are functioning at all. 3) To find out if my player error circuits are functioning over-actively (I wouldn't be sure, but if all discs had lots of errors, I would make the logical assumption). 4) Curiosity as to how many errors are typically encountered. -- -- Noel Kropf {philabs,cmcl2!rocky2}!cubsvax!noel.UUCP 212-280-5517 -- 1002 Fairchild; Columbia University; New York NY 10027
