Does anyone have experience with running a CD-ROM drive attached to a 486?
I've recently read something in CD-ROM PROFESSIONAL which cautions against
doing so, because of a mismatch with the CPU speed. Is this a valid precaution?
Any comments?

Don: I have heard others talk of the laquer problem with todays CD's which
might render the disk useless as time goes on. Kinda like the rear window of a
convertable that is left out in the sun, and rain all the time. The plastic
gets a yellow and white cast to it and you can't see out. There may be a
problem with this, however, how long do you think the oxide coatings will last
on your disks or tapes. I am sure that even with all the problems that the
CD's may or may not have. I'll put my money on the CD lasting longer then my
oxide coatings...

I look for the circular disk, and CD, to be replaced with a non moving credit
card size device. I really think that the CD spinning like a 1950 LP was the
wrong way to go with the format... Skip...

I agree, the Pink Panther dubbed into French isn't funny - I stopped
watching after 10 minutes.  But in Allo Allo, they kept the humour by
inverting all the language accents, eg having Michelle switch from
talking normal French to Franglais.

I don't know why I'm trying to defend this show - it's a load of rubbish.

To summarize the replies:

Balck Adder I and III have been available for some time.  Black Adder II

tapes and the tapes cost $20 (ouch!)

My video outlet has series' I and III and is looking into II and IV which are

Makes sense.  Julie Covington has done quite a bit of Lloyd Webber (2 b's).
If I remember correctly, she was the original star of Evita.

I vaguely remember the show, but can't remember the theme.  Wasn't the male
lead of the show the same guy who played the bad guy in the movie "Top
Secret!", or is my memory completely gone?

I don't know who originally did this song, but while watching a comedy
special a few weeks ago('Girls Night Out'/'Women of the Night' type of
special(i.e. all female comedians)) I saw Martin Mull perform this
song between acts. He had the Higggins Boys and Gruder from the Comedy
Network singing backup.

Sorry, but I don't know where to get a copy of it. I suggest trying
to find the Dr. Demento compilation albums. Or possibly a Martin Mull
album if he is the original performer.
