burn, baby, burn

many years a go my car was broken in to and the bad guys took off with my cd case. i had about two hundred cds in there and i was pissed! since it happened at my parents house while i was in town, their insurance company actually covered the theft. unfortunately, they only paid pack a buck or two per cd, so there was no way i was going to be able to replace the whole collection. instead i used the money that i got for the insurance and got this cd burner instead! i figured that i shouldnt feel bad about burning a cd since i had already payed for it, right? i was a good boy and only burned the cds that i had already purchased, that way i wasnt doing anthing illegal. i already had a computer but this was before every computer came with a cd burner built in, so the only way to burn cds was through this external burner. it worked pretty well and served its purpose, but i have long since gotten rid of the apple computer it was purchased for and have since gotten a computer with a burner built in, so this thing is no longer useful. thanks for helping replace my cds, though! it was actually pretty easy to find almost all my cds, i just went around to every room in the dorm and asked my fellow college students if i could borrow their cd for a little while! the one disc that i was never able to find though, was david bowie's 'hours'. any help?
