We've been doing this for every computer we've got rid of for the past four or five years. We live in a flat though, so we do it in the dining room, with a hammer. Actually, we get the teenagers to do it. They're good at that kind of thing.

Finally a use for teenagers. Like a fool, I left mine down to the recycling centre the last time I was getting rid of one. Just like they tell us to do. Nothing of interest on it though. I can't imagine someone from Albania blackmailing me on the back of a couple of average essays and a family tree.

There seems to be to no end to the lengths these criminals will go to to steal our identities.
Personally I think mine is too boring to steal so I dont bother with any of this crap.

LOL, I'm paranoid, I did turn my old HDD into dust...and great fun it was!
My old credit cards get melted over the gas hob and anything with my details (account numbers for cards, bank, catalogues etc) gets shredderoonied.

It's not really your I.D. that is the main objective though is it? It's buying stuff in your name that is the real aim of these scum. AH

Maximum ventilation is a must! ;D My shedder only does paper, and to be really thorough, I have to spend ages chopping away at cards with scissors (which is a pain). I discovered the "melt 'em" trick a few years ago, it guarntees total destruction. AH
