3) Door to door vacuum cleaner sales assistant tool.

Have you ever broke one in half [out of anger or a data removal option] small fragments go everywhere within a 25 foot range and only a frickin high power industrial vacuum can get them out of the carpet. The way they fragment they need warning labels as being deadly weapons from the shrapnel array.
This could be a great tool for the door to door Kirby vacuum salesman. They also could keep a stack of them at Sears to show how effective their vacuums were, as a hook. Or maybe I'm the only one to ever get that pissed a disc??

yeah, I was working at a law firm and some secretary came in with a box of floppies and cd's and told me to destroy them.

I found the easiest method for cd's was two pairs of pliers - twist in opposite directions. for the floppies, I opened them all up, took the platters out and cut them up with scissors, in groups of 5 to make it harder to piece them back together.

...it's one way to while away an afternoon....

#1 use... Microwave oven art.

Also applies to free AOL disks.

[JamesB69]

once in a physics lab, i used them as wheels on a vehicle that was powered by mousetraps....

[JamesB69]

and yeah ive shattered a few of those discs before. I had a scratched disc, dont know how it got scratched, it had been in a jewel case, not even opened. I threw it straight down into the concrete floor it was pretty cool, other than the fact that im still finding shards of it.

Some time put one in a microwave for about 3 seconds, thats pretty cool too. I dont wanna ruin the surprise for anybody who might try it...

[MOVIEGEEK]

You can wire one to a headband and pretend you're a doctor or miner.

Only 3 seconds, you have to live on the edge and leave it in for more like 15 or 20. Things get real fun then. I used to do this at work all the time with AOL disks. The older the microwave, the less spectacular the results. The new high power units, that spread the radiation more evenly do a nice job.

Best to also put a cup of water or other object in with the disk. Just don't put any food in with it. SOmething that can be thrown away, yet absorbs the energy so you don't damage the microwave.

I never did get a chance to take pictures of this activity.
