      I can't bear the thought of letting anything go to waste!

          I think I could use them for target practice or skeet shooting the next time I go to the rifle range. Or, I could sharpen the edges and turn them into razor discs to throw at targets. Hmmmm...

              Good thread.

              I don't have much use for re-using them, but I do like tossing them to watch them fly.

                I would say that is reusing them, entertainment.

                  I also had Windows revert to PIO mode a while back after the drive tried (and failed) to read a scratched disk. Luckily I remembered reading the fix here and could correct it.

                    They put on a pretty good show when put in the microwave for a few seconds too...

                      Haha... I don't think my wife would be happy with that. She already is mad at me for never cleaning it after I use it.
