Hey, it worked for AOL. I do think they'd have better luck giving away free USB sticks preloaded with Chrome, but maybe the costs are still prohibitive at this scale.<p>[On second thought, there are some more issues to consider. In order for them to be useful rather than landfill, they'd have to be writable, but that would be a security nightmare. Imagine someone grabbing one, putting malware on it, and tossing it back in the basket. If they're non-writable, then the question becomes whether they can be manufactured as efficiently as CDs, and with a lesser long-term environmental impact.]
