On-site crusher, a lorry turns up with an inbuilt crusher/shreader, we witness important stuff crushed/shreaded, then it goes and gets pulped or incinerated.
This all sounds like such a waste. Used properly, a bulk eraser will move those magnetic domains around enough that nobody will see anything on the tape. Then they could be donated to starving newbies. If the tapes *must* be destroyed, how about just melting them? That'd be a lot less offensive to the universe than burning them... -- Glenn English ghe@slsware.com GPG ID: D0D7FF20
