AOL in an Amaray!!?!?! - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Yesterday in the mail I received an AOL 5.0 CD-ROM [bin an amaray DVD case[/b]!

Heh if they want to subsidize repairing my broken cases I'm all for it

AOL has been doing this for a little while now. I received an AOL disc in a keep case a while ago, and my wife and I just got another one on the past week.

Same here. We got one about a month ago which went directly into the garbage. Then we got another one yesterday which we did the same. My wife yelled at me when I through it out saying we could keep it in case something happened to one of the cases we have. By that time it was too late. It was deep in the bottom of the dumpster.
OOPS!

We've gotten two so far. Nobody else at work has gotten them, but nobody else here buys online as much as I do, either.

Very slick. I'm thinking of converting a few snappers to these... And hey, more coasters!

I had an Amaray with one broken spindle, so I used the AOL one for a replacement. Had to do do a little work getting AOL's damn sticker off! Hot water did the trick!!

I got some in the mail, but one had stickers pasted to them that were impossible to remove. I've heard that if you put peanut butter on the stickers for awhile, they may be easier to peel off, but somehow the effort/result ration doesn't seem worth it...
By the way each case was slightly different (different hubs - on one, you push down and the disc magically lifts up, on the other you just pull and pop the disc off the hub).

Here's some good advice on removing stubborn stickers...

I'll save folks some of the trouble and just say that lighter fluid has always worked well for me, especially with glass and plastic surfaces. Just don't smoke while doing it.
