What do you think about magnets?

The dead BASIC Stamps and PING))) sensors are recycled at the end of the year during inventory, how about re-using them to decorate a fridge, an office, etc.?

Check out the picture below:

    Blown-up 'lectronics?

    Use 'em in a public service display about the dangers of smoking.

    Make earrings out of them or other types of jewelry! The BS2 is quite a jewel you know.

    Maddie didn't show you the "RMA Wall of Shame". On this wall you'll find a bunch of customer-submitted Return Merchandise Authorizations that didn't quite look like normal usage. Some items are fully blackened and cooked with flames; others have massive solder blogs the size of a bumble bee.

    Maddie, maybe you could photo the RMA Wall of Shame.

    I'd like a few of them as magnets. Could use them both at home and work. I still have my Parallax Christmas ornament hanging in my office. Everyone knows I'm a Parallax Groupie!

    Magnets? Well, ok.

    But my question is, just how "dead" are these? Is there no chance for an industrious Parallaxalite to resurrect them, if bought on-the-cheap?

    @davejames: Manufacturing tests the stamps and if some don't pass, they go through another process to see if they can be fixed. If they can be fixed, they are. If not, I get them! :)
