FIAT Collector's CD - It's here. The Scoop inside.
Well, I got the FIAT Collector's CD in the mail today. It came packaged with a nice Calendar-n-Card. Oh how I love that cardinal. I also noticed how redink1's handwriting looks a lot like mine. (When I write fast anyway.)



So, all hyped up and junk, I stuck the CD in the drive, went into My Computer, double-clicked on the M: drive letter, and it said "Please insert a CD." Baffling indeed!



I then looked on the back of the CD and found a funny mark on it - I'd scan it, but I'm not sure whether that's safe or not. Quite frankly, it's unlike any CD marking I've seen before. So I cleaned the CD in the hopes that it would then work. No success. Finally, in a last-ditch effort to get the thing running, I put it in the DVD drive. No luck. Irritating.



Overall, I give the FIAT Collector's CD a 3 out of 10 - it comes with a nice card, the CD art is pretty, but the damned frisbee doesn't work in a CD drive.

Well, look on the bright side, you now have a cheap, total ireplacable coffe coaster. You will never get one that is exactly the same, and maybe, in 2-3 hundred years, it might be worth something.
