I may borrow a CD box to check if my is shot. Good idea?

If one is easily available to you, definitely. You'll probably want to charge the battery before continuing on with this, as the strength of the battery will influence the spark you're able to produce under cranking. Look at any obvious wires to the coil that could be hanging loose or shorting. You might want to try another coil as well. Check for blown fuses, etc.
If the problem is indeed the ignit, hopefully some more knowledgeable person can step in and offer advice as I am admittedly weak on the operation of the electronic ignition and have never really taken the time to sit down and figure out how they work. I guess I will when mine fails.
One other thing which I neglected to mention is that you'll probably want to remove the fuel pump relay before trying the spark check if you have any fear of the car starting on you. Or maybe that is your fondest hope.
Good luck and keep us posted,
