Can you buy CD drives for old-style computers any more? And if so, how much are they? Is it worth my while?
Well....okay.
Wow.
It makes a high pitched hummy noise, but it works. But only if I give it a little shove in at the end, otherwise it just extends again. Uh....Paranoid....Perhaps I'll let it gradually go up in complexity. Let's see, what music CD do I care the least about?
The An Horse EP (I have the LP so it doesn't matter, really).
...works just fine.
Did I actually just fix the jarred CD drive by taking it apart, fiddling with it, and putting it back together?
I feel almost vaguely competent... Master bleedover working for the good? That would be too much to hope for.
Okay. Okay. Uh....I want to test a movie but those are sort of important... Oh, I know. I'll test Walking With Cavemen because I got it for the lulz and for about two dollars.
Uh...it works fine. I guess I'll just be careful to make sure it doesn't overheat. Actually, it's not even humming any more...
Okay.
This was an educational experience. How strange that it all worked out... I'm glad, because Lucy's too slow to handle playing movies and I would've had a bit of a dilemma.
