Being a regular CHIP> Digit subscriber plus a computer freak since 1995, i hav a collection of uncountable CDs that are now almost useless- the newer versions of softs are easily available online... n i dont scroll thru so many CDs now.. Some can't run...

What shud i do with them? Any ideas? Something creative to show the world my collection, i mean i dont wanna just throw them or sell them as junk.

I thot abt stacking them up n creating a penstand out of it- u kno cutting them inside or smthin... any suggestions pls?

Or paste them on your door, arranged like a Matrix.

Or even make an armor out of them, like Chain Mail.

Or cut them precisely and make them into lethal discs and become a night time patrol, and read DC Batman.

LOL!!

My advice will be to aim for Guiness WorldRecord or atleast Limca, for collecting most no of CDs (no duplicates will be allowed. i.e. you can't order 5000 Ubuntu CD and make record) :)
