Wanna Buy A Coaster?

April 21st, 2003

Collecting things has always been something I’ve liked to do. I collected stamps as a boy, then moved on to baseball cards and comics. Now I find myself collecting video games and Macintosh computers. One thing I haven’t even thought of collecting was AOL CDs. Yes, that’s right, those pesky little silver platters flooding your mailbox I use for coasters or frisbees, many are collecting them for either the “trash heap”:http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/04/21/BA182210.DTL or for “selling on eBay”:http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,45585,00.html.

I’d much rather just trash em. Hmm, maybe someone wants to buy the CDs I get in the mail? It’ll help me fund more Japanese game imports so my wife doesn’t get upset. MTO’s fine cell-shaded “GT Cube”:http://www.the-magicbox.com/game032503c.htm racing game (Japanese Gamecube only) ships April 25th, hurry up and send the money now, I’m sure I can find some AOL discs around here.
