mini-CDs

Dear All,

So does anyone actually use those mini-CDs? Like 5cm across or whatever? I see blanks of those for sale next to the normal size CD blanks, and blank tapes, at the local Walgreen's. But they SCARE ME!

Those CDs are cool.

I'd use 'em all the time, except for the fact that they won't work in slot-loading drives.

How often, when you're burning a CD, do you need the full 650MB? And the really tiny 60MB disks are terribly cool. Though I don't actually recommend keeping 'em in a wallet, say, as they break.

Doc storage.

I've been thinking about using those to give my customers their documentation.

This way it saves me the cost of printing things and makes it a different thing that will make them remember my company.

Every CD-ROM drive I've seen (on PCs) has support for those mini CDs. Of course, I can provide them with the common sized CDs as well, if they want it (they are cheaper).

The business card sized (and shaped) CDs are awful handy to hand out.
