  Like AOL cds. :-)  
 This was the 1980s. Plans to dominate the computer room based on
 accumulating two solar masses of AOL CDs weren't yet feasible.

Does anyone recall how environmentalists were in a tizzy about
write-enable rings? Seems that like six-pack rings, they were
being found washed up on shorelines, and birds were getting 
caought in them or something like that... I recall a photo
accompanying an article in Time magazine showing a guy knealing
down a picking one up out of the sand...
