Thinking about this topic overnight, the only real advantages I could come up
with for optical discs over flash memory a

1. The damaged discs make good coasters.

2. The damaged discs work great as a bird deterrent in my wife's vegetable
garden. We melt a hole through them with a soldering iron, tie fishing line to
them and suspend them from bent wire hangers. The twist and spin in the wind
and the dumber birds are scared of them. Unfortunately, we have a younger
generation of rather bright birds who don't give a crap, so the dogs have to
chase them off.

Just to be my normal smarta$$, disks are harder to lose because of size.
