    just think, of all the one's you have thrown away there might have been a rare $1,000,000 (roughly converted to uk money = 2p) collectable piece amongst them!

    My mate and I went onto the AOL website and ordered about 30 disks, all to his address but with different names, because we were hoping to get the ones with the DVD cases, which would be very useful. But nope, they just sent them in envelopes.

    Now my mate gets a big pile of envelopes with different names all to his address from AOL promoting something every few months, and he doesn't even want it

    ROFL!

    I occasionally get a nice DVD box with a coaster in it from AOL.
