I got the CueCat working, and it, with DVD Profiler let me catalog about 50 DVD's in under 5 minutes!!!

Now, I just need to find a good program for cataloging my book collection! (Hint, hint!!!)

Guess there is 'life after death' for these things! And the hardware hack is super easy!
Again, thanks to all who contributed to my education in this matter. This board has the best (and smartest) people around!
