Free AOL discs…
Posted by | Filed under Life
AOL hasn’t tried darkening my mailbox in quite some time but when I checked the mail today; there it was another “free trial offer”. Normally, I would have just tossed it directly into the trash since they no longer send their software out on floppies. However as I walked back up to my apartment, the packaging the CD was in reminded me of something I’d seen previously online.
In short, it looked rather much like Jewelboxing’s Kings, Movie-Sized Cases. I tore the case apart to remove all of AOL’s crappy marketing and to examine the case for manufacturing marks. Unfortunately, I didn’t see anything on the case that positively identified it as a one of Jewelboxing’s cases. Is it the real thing? A cheap knock-off? Heck if I know!
What I do know is that I just got a nice DVD size case for free that goes for $49 per pack of 20 ($2.45 each). This will work great for storing some DVDs I’ve burned of fan-subbed anime. *keen*

Alex: I had this problem on a 1999 Golf V5 however this solution didn't work. I phoned a mechanic, who said this:
1) Turn off ignition
2) Turn key part way but don't start the car. With some combination of wiggling the gearstick and turning the key without starting the engine, you can move the stick.
3) Hold the

Janetxb: Another (former) Dannon coffee yogurt fan here..... until recently. I'd say for about 25 years I had one carton of Dannon coffee yogurt almost every day. I was pretty bummed out when they switched from 8- to 6-oz. cups, but I adjusted. Lately I do this instead: I put 1/2 t

I believe the Jewelboxing people partnered up with AOL for a promotion to package their discs. I’m still waiting for mine to arrive.

@kartooner: Thanks for the info. Having a couple of these in my minds, I can see why people would pay so much for them; they’re really nice cases.
