Well, it comes in that 4-CD set, right? Well, that stupid 4-bay
plastic box doesn't open the same as a regular CD jewel case -
every time I want to use the CD's, when I pick up the box I
have to turn it around in my hands 3 or 4 times before I figure
out how to open it today. And when I finally do get it open,
the disk is on the wrong side!

What a fscking pain in the A.

Other than that, Slackware's the greatest thing there is that
you can do to a computer with your pants on. ;-)

Cheers!
Rich

harhar!! trying not to think what you do to your computer when you dont have
your pants on, lol.

It's a basic intelligence test. Can't have such a great distro falling
into the hands of idiots.

Is the case actually different, or is it something sneaky like they put
the labels in differently so it doesn't open the way you expect it?

It helps to be smarter than the box.

That's only a useful solution if he can open the case in the first place.

Or maybe not. So long as someone can imagine the disks in a different
case, then one can always break the original case in order to get in.
