We call them "coasters" in American, at least that's what my mother calls 
them. Don't know why, it doesn't make much sense to me.

Happen to have a couple AOL CD's at work that I use to sit hot coffee cups 
on. A gulible person once asked about that, I explained the shiny aluminum 
layer in the CD was a space age reflective insulator...

Actually it simply tickled my fancy to use an AOL disk that way (haven't 
been to the shooting range lately, they frown on shooting anything but 
their paper targets). Am now looking for a Windows NT CDROM...  :-)
