For those of you that attended last December's SUG conference and
were given a free Catalyst Software CD and have grown somewhat
tired of it, here's a suggestion.

Place the CD on an inverted paper cup in a microwave oven, darken
the room, and start the oven. Only leave the oven on for about 2-3
seconds at a time, otherwise the plastic gets too hot.  The CD sparkles
beautifully as the aluminum sparks and breaks up.  It also leaves a
really nice tree pattern on the top surface of the diskette. Nice ozone,
too.

We just did one; it was great.

This isn't commentary on the Catalyst CD, it just that I've never
had a CD before that was disposable.  It also has nothing to do with
being at SGI, as I was on the Board of Directors of SUG for a few years
and think it's a fine organization.

Try it; you'll never turn down a free CD again...or send me your
junk CDs!
