- Here's a Fun Thing to do on a rainy day: Take an old CD and a friend's
- microwave (because I'm not sure how good it is for the things), and place
- the CD in the center of the cooking cavity. Set the timer for two seconds,
- the power to "High". Turn it on and MAKE SURE YOU WATCH!
-
- The CD's physical shape is undamaged, by the way - the CD is not
- chipped, shrunk, warped, or otherwise bent, folded or spindled. It's
- mutilated instead. I'm not going to describe the results, you'll have to
- see for yourselves.
-
- Another account is that placing CDs in a conventional oven in a similar
- manner to that used to shrink potato-chip packets results in a cute,
- "downsized" version of same. Perhaps this is he ultimate in data storage -
- size-reducible and pretty to boot. Management should go wild.
