I recall when AOL sent out there stuff on a floppy. Which was at least worth something 'cause you could erase and reuse it. Maybe like softening the CDs of today and making candy dishes out of them? I LIKE it!! I use 'em for coasters, leveling furniture, craft projects, etc. 21st century clay pigeons, anyone? 73 de Jim, N2EY I laughed hysterically when I saw this, Jim!! Man, they'd make great ones. What's a "real" clay pigeon made of? Reason I ask is, that shooting skeet with CDs would be putting an awful lot of plastic into our dear mother earth. Kim W5TIT |

Then I succeeded in my attempt. Man, they'd make great ones. The satisfaction factor alone..... What's a "real" clay pigeon made of? ummmmm....clay? Specifically, I think they are dried but not fired so the pieces will disintegrate into the soil... Reason I ask is, that shooting skeet with CDs would be putting an awful lot of plastic into our dear mother earth. Ugh. Bad idea. Here's a practical use for them: Put them under candles, shiny side up. They reflect the loight and some heat, and protect your table/cloth from dripping wax. And a practical joke use: Make up a real-looking CD label that says "HOT XXX PHOTOS" or some such, stick it on the AOL CD, and leave it around where someone will swipe it and try to view it. bwaahaaahaaa..... 73 de Jim, N2EY |

Hey, use them for gift tags! Make up a label, place it onto the AOL CD, and use a pretty ribbon to tie between the package and the hole of the CD. Hmmmmm, this could really get interesting (they could also be used against those wall mounted candle holders, carried in the pocket on a hike (they'd reflect light and work for signaling really well). Let's see...they could be strung onto a mobile and used as a bird attractant for the bird bath... I'll stop, I gotta go get stuff to do the smoked brisket for tomorrow! Kim W5TIT |

Hmmmmm, this could really get interesting (they could also be used against those wall mounted candle holders, carried in the pocket on a hike (they'd reflect light and work for signaling really well). They work really well for signalling if ya know Morse Code... That too, but they'd work just fine to be found by air if ya just keep flashing. Same for CW. Just keep beeping and beeping and beeping and, anyone who knows something's up (and that would be nearly anyone with any capability of reasoning) will hunt the signal down :o Let's see...they could be strung onto a mobile and used as a bird attractant for the bird bath... And the squirrel feeder... I'll stop, I gotta go get stuff to do the smoked brisket for tomorrow! yummm.... 73 de Jim, N2EY Oh, man. Yummmm is right. Let's see: roasted zuchinni, pineapple, and hatch peppers; smoked brisket and Ekrich brand sausage; baked potatoes encrusted with garlic, salt, and rosemary; roasted purple onion; steamed corn-on-the-cob; and iced tea. The Hatch peppers are done, and doggone are they good! Kim W5TIT |

Perfect combination, XP is another one which can't be fixed. Worse, Microshaft doesn't *want* it fixed. If they closed all the holes how would they ever check out your computer when you sign onto their update website? When you hear that "another security hole has been found in Windows xx" and that Gates et all are scurring to "fix" it, say "Yeah, Right!" They'll send out a patch that will neutralize that particular vermin, but the main Good point. bang is still as holey as a moth-eaten cotten curtain in a 1940's flophouse. Was that your primary residence? |
