What the hell can you do with 300 DD disks
« on: August 21, 2007, 11:24:13 AM »
That's right, I have more than 300 of them.  Are they of any value?  Is there any use for 300 double density disks that you creative guys can think of? :)

At the moment they look like they will become a nice chunk of landfill.

Or more if something in there is original copies of software/games.


People have done this?  I wouldn't mind just bulk selling the lot if someone had need for disks.  I couldn't verify the quality of them all... or perhaps I could, but the effort would outweight my concern.

I do have a number of originals.  I but I might sell that bundled with my A1200, which I believe will also have to go.

The other option, is CatWeazel.  I haven't heard whether MKIV integrates seamlessly with WinUAE.  I remembered hearing this was a work in progress.  But if I can simply use my old disks in WinUAE I might think about keeping them.

you could open each one, fill it with any powdered explosive, then give them out for free on the street saying it's a promotional something rather, then watch on bbc world as reports come in of several office fires


:roflmao: I would try that but for the fear of being sent to Guantanamo for a few years.

That's really neat... I love the other things this George Hart has made too.
