Default Smelly CD?

I got SE4 yesterday and one of the first things I noticed was the smell! After a little sniffing around it seems to me that the ink on the CD label is pretty potent. Even hours after being unwrapped and left in the open air it still has a rather strong odor. Anyone else notice this?

Mine went into the drive so fast I didn't have time to sniff it.

Ergh, are your senses enhanced by sniffing your CD ?

Maybe I should try mine ? (BTW it really smells a bit).

Greetings

Yes, I noticed the awful stink right away. The CD bloody well REEKS.

I have never had a smelly CD before, so I am wondering WTF. Is this thing toxic? Should I contact the EPA?

I was JOKING about the EPA. Trouble with the Feds is the *Last* thing I would wish on anyone, even my worst enemy.

Hahaha, you know, this reminds me of a funny story about a new Mac.
heheheh
anyways, I think that the ink you mentioned might be the source. I dunno, (im not into CD manufacturing)
geez, sniffing ink, next it will be markers and glue!

See, that's why MM is so good. Not only does it make a great game, but you can get high off the CD too!
