Okay, maybe it's just me, but does anyone else think the "index sheets" that are advertised in the banner ads here are a completely ridiculous idea? I'm not saying that being able to find a disc in a stack of 25 or so isn't important, just that I don't think most people store their discs that way. I mean why the heck would you use a vertical system like that for discs that scratch so easily, and where scratches can cause such major problems? I realize that it's convenient and economical to store blank media that way, but do you really want a system where you have to lift 24 discs off a spindle and put them somewhere in order to get to one disc on the bottom???

I guess you could set three spindles up and do a kind of "Towers of Hanoi" shuffling scheme so discs on top of the one you want can be moved to a different spindle, but it just seems insane to me. Of course the old "Disc-Go Case" that held 45s seemed like an insane idea to me too, but they were very popular. In fact, I own one, but I don't use it for 45s that aren't already pretty beat up or just unimportant to me.
