I ran out of blank DVDs this morning. So, I filled my Baby^TM car up with gas and headed west for Menards. (We're outta plastic wrap.) After procuring plastic wrap and several other things, I went south for MicroCenter to procure blank DVDs. They also had envelopes on sale, for $2/100 so I bought two. Then I headed south to a place near work, where I'd ordered a clamp for the magnifying light I bought at the last Nicollet Open Streets. (It's true, they ain't worth much without the clamp.) They had a whole host of Sony DVDs on a table with a label that said either $1 or $2, depending if they were RW, Blu-RW, 50, or 100. After they found my clamp, I asked, "Is that price per disk?"

"No," the manager said. "We've stopped selling Sony. It's for the package."

"Is there a limit?" I asked?

"No." the manager said. "Buy them all."

I did. He got me a shopping basket, but I had to get a cart.

I discovered that the resale value was zero when I worked out that the total number of DVDs I am ever going to use again is fewer than the number I have in the house, and put some in my eBay pile. They've gone to the charity shop now. These are quality branded disk sealed on spindles. Worthless.

You clearly don't give your friends enough movies.

I have two spindles of about 50 CDs and 75 DVDs that has been sitting on my desk for months. I keep thinking about getting rid of them, because just about everything I'd use them for is now taken over by thumb drives. The only advantage to DVDs is that they're next to free, and thumb drives aren't, which means I hate giving a thumb drive to someone else if I don't think I'm going to get it back.
