STRANGE.........
This is the strangest thing that has happened to me relative to computers, and I have been working with them for thirty years.
I was loading OpenOffice on my computer and there was an explosion in the CD drive, yes in the CD drive. The OpenOffice CD that I received from a Sun source blowup. I opened the CD drive and there were tiny pieces of the CD was everywhere.
Is there a time limitation on these applications, and if time elapses, bang?
Ah, you discovered the secret! This is really the Impossible Mission
Force Edition of OpenOffice.org, and after a certain amount of time
passes, the CD will self-destruct. :-)
Sounds like the phenomenon documented on the Discovery Channel's
"Mythbusters" program:

The verdict: A CD can explode at 52X speed or 20,000 RPM under certain
circumstances. But rest assured: the myth was that a person was killed
by this explosion, which they determined is impossible.
Ain't TV grand?
