Remember it was floppy 3 1/2 in disks first which were terrible as 
coasters, only to become more useful when they switched to CDs. That 
being said I really hope these ended up somehow elsewhere than in a 
landfill as so many were produced - see

I wonder how that kind of production would fare in today's 
environmentally conscious world....
Best,
