    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    House of Fraser were selling CD Xmas decorations - they had a bit of twine for hanging and glitter swirls on the surface. I forgot to check the prices as I was horrified that they were stocking something so cheap and nasty, but I'm guessing they were priced at no less than £3.

    Put them in a pile and enter them for next year's Turner Prize.
  • Make a horse out of them.
  • Is that a racehorse or a clothes horse?
  • Maybe I'm just a cynic, but have you thought of the scenario where the virus checker is bent and that these CDs contain no trojans at all?

  • I dont really understand how the virus scanners work, but my computer-bod uncle seems to think the one I use is a very good one. I think the CD's are just dumping grounds for programs, pictures, videos, etc, from all over the web, so their content cant really be trusted. My thoughts are that the virsuses are real. Even if I were wrong, I wouldnt want to risk it.

    Yes, of course it's the likelier scenario, judging by the description. Jings! That means that any CD or download'll carry all sorts of undesirables with it. I did have some anti virus software that came with a free gift!

  • Discover how to turn them into cat scarers for the garden and you'll be on your way to your first £10 million :cool:
  • Get one of those rope lights and put it through the middle of the CDs for a really unusual lamp. There's a guy at Clearwood Computers in Dumfries who collects scrap CDs for that purpose, and donates £10 to Oxfam for every 50 he collects or something.
