I was just showing my partner that I still have a few AOL CDs in the metal tins! That was closer to the end times for them (8000 HOURS FREE!!!).

Back in the day, I was a little shit and would help myself to all of the AOL CDs packaged with the free computing periodicals at the library. Let’s just say that there are still more than a few unopened packages of AOL CDs at my parent’s house 20+ years on…

For a friend and I at the time, they made excellent disposable frisbees!
