If you look closely at your CD tray when it is extended out
of the case, you will see that there is a recessed section
inside the diameter of the normal CD. It's about the size
of a 3.5 inch floppy disk after to remove it from its
plastic case.
An 80 Millimetre CD drops neatly into this recess, and
amazingly when you push the tray back in again, you will
find the CD will work as normal, be it a CD-R or CD-RW.
In fact, some 80mm CDs appear to be almost oval on shape, or
at least have two flat sides. They are even printed to look
like business cards. Not only will they drop into the inner
recess of your CD tray, they also contain information.
Indeed I recall Queen Alexandra College for the Blind in
Birmingham had some of these, containing information about
the college's facilities.
This size of CD is ideal if you only want to send one or two
hundred megs of data to someone, but sadly, while they may
help save our oil and plastic reserves, this is not often
reflected in the cost.
George.

That's what I'd like to know, what can you use them in?
