	I guess this is the main concern since John stated no CD-R disk

	Hmmm, the manufacture date might be one of the US anal retentive,
	consumer protection, retail sales laws for anything sold within
	the borders of dub-ya land; similar to la-la land although a bit
	more dusty originating from Texas and all... B^).

	Anybody know if the serial numbers have a date or other always
	increasing code in them so we know that serial number XYZZY and
	above is CD crippled?
