You can never have enough floppies but how many coasters can one person need? Of course they can also be used for purely decorative purposes, sporting events and looking at the sun. > Actually, at this very moment, I'm using a Compuserve coaster. :) > So am I. They survive the stress test very well, only shattering after repeated acts of violently smashing them into a slightly padded surface. They also produce prettier patterns in the microwave and bounce and roll more gracefully when dropped on their edge. Also, unlike modern AOL CDs, they don't look like a box of laundry detergent. Compuserve coasters outperform AOL coasters by an order of magnitude. Maybe I should use the same benchmark on my 2.2.6 CDs from Cheapbytes and see how FreeBSD does in comparison. Pardon the deviation from the topic but until there's a freebsd-coasters list, the vital importance of quality coasters, an essential tool for the geek community, demands that information be free and disseminated as widely as possible (if possible, as widely as AOL's CDs) by any means available.
