I had trouble even finding the CD and getting it out once (it never went
back in) with my _Broken Arrow_.

Then again, I got _Love in Space_ last night, and couldn't get teh CDs out.
They kept sliding over one another an dit took about all my coordination to
hold one in while taking the other out.  Then the booklet was stuck to the
inside by a small strip of glue, and the tearing sound it made when I yanked
to get it out was horrifying (but fortunately it didn't really tear).

I guess this way they get two sales, one for the CD and one for blank jewel
boxes (well worth the price with this nasty packaging).

So, anyway, what's that pyramid like thing the alien is handing to the
pregnant woman on the LIS cover?  At first I thought it was a pile of gold
coins, but now that I look at it with more light, I'm not sure.
