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! Bob Brown ------------------------------------------------------------------ Silicon Graphics, Inc.
