You have no idea.  Without the ability to be backed up or even slightly 
repaired, most Jaguar owners handle their discs with such care you would think 
they are handling plutonium.  I had a booth at CGExpo this last August and it 
was somewhat humorous to watch how long it took a die-hard Jag owner to 
gingerly put a CD in (usually a *minimum* of 15-20 seconds).
