Am now looking for a Windows NT CDROM... :-) You need a better shooting range: Doug's Shoot-n-Sports allows us to shoot old terminals, monitors, CPUs, etc. after the bowling pin meets on Thursday night. They have a pile of waste to sweep up anyhow... ;^) Eric A. Griff replied: > I don't feel so different anymore :) > I use aol and prodigy disks for dog toys :) Fortunately we still get quite a few AOL floppies around here. I find the perfect use for them is to make FreeBSD boot/fixit floppies from them. ;^) We should probably save all the AOL, Prodigy, and Compu$erve CD-ROMs, someday we might be able to make a killer solar oven from the lot of them. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
