Actually I found Four uses for them.

 One of the older versions had some bits of software that was useful 
 outside the AOL framwork.  Handy to keep around for regressive
 uses.

 Makes a nice disk for an aneometer (wind speed) when combined with
 those plastic eggs.

 Made a useful stator and rotor for experiments in power generation
 using wind.

 Inexpensive substitute for clay targets in skeet shooting.  Love the 
 sound of a 12ga.  ;)
