Okay WHF team,

Back in the 90s someone came up with some rubber bands or such like that you were supposed to put around the outside edges of your CDs (the discs, not the players). These were supposed to prevent refraction or reflection or whatever within the CD and /or sunspots and /or aliens scanning your brains, and thus improve reproduction quality.

They cost about a tenner each.

For a rubber band.

Needless to say WHF gave them a glowing review at the time.

And where are they now? (And when did / does the inventor become eligible for parole?)

Got any more skeletons you'd like to drag out the filing room and dust down???
 
Not quite on topic, but I remember the rubber band around the platter of my Revolver turntable all those years ago and I thought that was pretty weird!

Bet no-one's going to admit to actually BUYING any of these things are they? And no, I didn't!
