RE: Portable CD Players. That was a Horrible Time to be Alive!

Schools to this day use cd players and books with CDs stuck on the back page. Ridiculous.
Oh god, and the laptop disk drives... Easily the most breakable moving part of all time. I think all of mine broke at some point. And I don't even wanna think about their recyclability.
I guess they were pretty good for throwing like frisbees, though?

Haha indeed they were great as frisbees and to make some fancy art projects where you required reflecting surface. Another good thing was the CD/DVD lens. Combination of those from broken CD/DVD readers of laptops with a webcam would make good homemade digital microscopes (good for high school science projects)
Love it! Wish I had one now...
Now you can just get a foldscope. I got one for free at some conference bit irritating though but not bad for giving it to kids.
