Will the chips actually remain the property of the government?
Will it be illegal if I decide that I like mine better as a
piece of jewelry?
Drill a hole in it, thread it on a chain, maybe pot it in clear
epoxy or see if I can make it drive some LEDs or something?
If they are cheap enough, you might want to collect them and
build some sort of structure out of them. Crypto sculpture?
Trade them with your friends, put them in a microwave and see
if they are more fun to watch than a CD... Hook a hundred of
them up in a strange way and put them in a big tesla coil.
Really, the possibilities are endless. Will they surface
mount them, or actually put them in chip holders so that we
can pop them out? How do I order spares? Give them as gifts!
