I have nearly 2 thousand aol cds collected....
I'm working on cutting, warping, and gluing them together to make a suit of armor made of aol cds

I attempted to make a PC case last year...but couldn't get the drives mounted or the door to line up :(

I had some pics of the case before i smashed it, but they were on my last PC before it fried.
I can take some pics of all the CDs.

Cereal works I suppose - I'm sure they'd aim it more towards the kids so they can nag the parents to sign up.

Great idea... I'm gonna do that.

Damn, i would have loved to have seen :camera:'s of this, cos i was thinking of doing the same thing (only with Freeserve CDs, not AOL, as you seem to find Freeserve CDs everywhere in the UK!!)

I can't believe they don't have 1 million yet.

Yeah, they've been doing this for a couple years now. Should have a million by now.

I don't ever get AOL CDs.

Though I still have a AOL version 1.0 floppy.

Come on, why hasn't anyone sued them for heavy, emotional damage yet?

Claim you had/have a bad internet addiction, and that seeing their CDs keeps bringing it back up.
Should at least be able to get a few million that way.
