I have to agree with the AOL CD. How annoying! It was better when they dished out floppies because I could erase them and use them for other purposes. I never bought a floppy during those AOL floppy days for what seemed like forever!

The AOL CD makes a nice 500 meter rifle target. Very um... satisfying.

I used to use my hand-powered can opener on those AOL CD's. Fun stuff.

I used to look forward to those free AOL 3 1/2 disks.

Wipe them, slap a new lable

add it to my collection of disks

I dont think I ever purchased a blank 3 1/2 disk in my life

I remember some one collecting the AOL CD's to send back to them. I think there was a plan to get 1 millon CD's and dump them at the front steps of AOL's HQ. I think they stped sending the CD's before the mark was made.:hmm:
