One Million AOL discs to be returned to AOL

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the you've-got-crap dept.

nicedream writes "Two guys from California are trying to give AOL a taste of its own medicine. They're asking people to send them AOL discs, and they're going to drop them off at the company's doorstep once they collect 1 million discs. My favorite quote: "We're going to AOL and say, 'You've got mail"." seems like a better taste would be to dial out and use all 1000 free hours. A million people do *that* and I bet they'd stop filling our mailboxes with the landfill of tomorrow.

    ... but:

    Can they make a beowulf cluster out of those million cd's? :)

    And also:
    1.-Send a million cd's to people that don't want them.
    2.-Very few people will use the service, but it will pay for costs plus a little income.
    3.-Profit!
