Question: So what do you guys do with the AOL promo discs that seem to be everywhere? What can you do? Ive got about 3 of them now, and dont really want to throw them away. Thanks!

Ans the answer:

Use them as coaters at your christmas parties and social occasions.

Decorate the tree with them. Also useful for this are promotional CD-ROMs.

Tile your bathroom walls! They also make an attractive and functional kitchen countertop.

Give them to kids as frisbees.

Subscribe to AOL! Wait a sec, what am I thinking? Nevermind that one, weve got MUSIC.

For those of you celebrating Haunakkah (sp?), drive nail through center: Instant Dredel!

Chew toys for the dog.

Make a mobile for over the babys crib: Motion of info-packed magnetic media fosters early intellectual activity in the developing mind.

Post-it-notes? Forget it! AOL disks are much more durable, cheaper and readily available.

Send them as Christmas gifts to your worst enemies!
