- Back in the olden days of cartridge tape media releases of software, when a
- software release was obscelesced, you could reuse the cartridge tape. In these
- new-fangled days of CD-ROM distributions, when you even get demo disks and
- "home shopping disks" (like Catalyst CD-Ware), I'm curious was folks have been
- doing with old disks.
-
- At last year's SUG show in San Jose, Qualix had some CD-ROM coffee coasters:
- just glue some plastic feet underneath and *presto*: new use for old media.
-
- What do youse folks do? Mine are starting to collect...old Catalyst CD-Ware
- disks, Printer's Pallette, SunCD Demo disks, etc... Send your replies to me
- and summarize the funnier or more useful ones.
-
- Thanks.
