If you're using them as coasters, they're not going to waste. Keep doing that. =)

[edit]: I think a User Friendly strip had a joke about using AOL discs as coasters. So yeah, go with that.

I use them as coasters for wine bottles. Sometimes, bottles of red wine can leave rings on the wooden liquor cabinet my family has, so they put AOL CDs under them.

There's been a stack of them on my coffee table for years. Very Happy My favorites are the Lord of the Rings-themed one, the leopard-spotted one, and one that has some Anime-looking character on it.

String them up with fishing line to make a mobile, hang it in the sun and watch the pretty colors flash and spin. Cool
