Re: He was lucky
You were lucky.
I had a game on CD-ROM once called "Grand Prix Manager", and I loved playing that game. So much so I continued to play it even though cracks started to appear in the centre of the CD. One night time, about 1am when I should've been in bed asleep, while playing the game there was an almighty bang and the CD-ROM drive stopped spinning. I look at it, press the eject button - nothing.
Queue woken parents walking in to my room asking what the bang was. I said I fell out of bed.
The next day I took the CD-ROM out, and the CD was in pieces of various sizes which had done enough damage to the CD-ROM drive to warrant a new one.
