Yeah, I'm not surprised to hear that. The N2000 doesn't play nicely with most DVD-R discs and the Toshiba can be hit or miss with DVD-Rs. And also can wear out a laser quite quickly. I refuse to use repro discs in my players after repro discs ruined both an N501 and SD-2300.
Repros ruined your 2300? I saved my originals, made duplicates of the main games, and play those on my 2300 fine. One thing about the 2300 is I did have to update the bios to play Tetris, so that might have helped.
I honestly doubt that the recorded dvd's are messing up peoples nuons. I have had 2 of them go out that never ever had dvd-rs in them. I think they just are not that durable.
Where I live has a pool so we are using that to get water to flush the toilets. We have enough bottled water to drink and brush teeth and stuff but it has been a few days and no shower though....
That dude, Tom Boyd, is really upset about the backlash from his "it's your fault you're freezing" thing because he claims he resigned before saying it, so it wasn't like he said it in his official capacity or anything.
