Campaign: Send AOL CDs back | |
|
||
| Time: 12:21 EST/17:21 GMT | News Source: CNN | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
Don't know what to do with all those unwanted America Online compact discs that scream "Sign on today"? Jim McKenna and John Lieberman say they have the answer: Send them back. In an effort to get AOL, CNN's parent company, to stop sending the CDs, the two men started a Web site asking people to send the discs to them. Once the two have collected a million discs, they say they'll drive them to AOL's headquarters in Virginia and dump them at the Internet giant's door. "We're going to AOL and say, 'You've got mail. Please stop this,'" McKenna said. | ||

| #2, I guess they still haven't gotten the one million disks yet. |

I've been collecting them for years (don't ask why, I have NO clue). I think I have about 90 discs from version 3.0 to 7.0. What's worse is they were all addressed to me, not current resident or someone else. Why do I need 90 discs?????? That doesn't count the floppies from earlier versions! Now, I have a place to send them!! This post was edited by Lord British on Friday, October 18, 2002 at 13:27. |

Yeah, but it is funny :)
And when it comes to monster corporations who are pissing you off, even a _lilttle_ bit of legal retribution can be relaxing! TL |

| I like the floppy discs better. I kept me from buying any blank floppy discs for years:) Now these AOL CDs are annoying 'cause I don't know what to do with them. |

| AOL CDs should come as CD-RWs. At least I can find a use for that. |

notice that the CNN story (by the way parent company AOL) doesn`t post a link to the site to send back the disks.

Actually AOL CD's are useful for at least one thing.
You can test automobile care products on them to see if they scratch. Things such as towels, applicators, polishes and so forth. Picked that tip up on one of the auto detailing forums and thought it was useful. I also appreciate the cases that AOL sends their CD in. |
