    Think I'd rather tap dance on em, with shoes on that is.

    Alternatively you could bring them to a Greek wedding, in lieu of dishes.

    Best wishes for many sales to all,

    I would probably break them ( whilst wearing safety goggles of course!). Does anyone know how to go about disposing of old floppy discs? Nuttyson left 4 boxes of 'em taking up room in the loft

    I use old floppies for drink coasters, they work pretty well.

    Best to get them recycled - no good in the bin/landfill at all.

    There are organisations everywhere that can recycle your CD-Rs, CDs and DVDs including the packaging and Jewel cases.

    And if you are worried about securing data held on them - just cut them up first and/or score them - they will still take them!

    Not hard to find one near you - just do a web search on CD recycle

    Best Luck

    Easiest way would be to ship them buy Oz post marked fragile!
