      Target practice!!!
      Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
      think about that

        I saw on the news the other night how people in the UK who had finished with their comps, and had intened on them being recyled, actually found out that their old comps were being shipped to Nigeria, and being sold for around £15 per hard drive, and all their information was being used ie : bank details and so on.

        I smash mine to pieces...

                paper weights and cup mats - work very well and silent

                    Yep, this is very true. Our county always has these recycle "hazardious and electronic waste" drives where they take this old stuff for free, people drop off cell phones and everything else. Most people think this stuff is being actually recycled, what they dont know is that the county has a contract with a "disposal vendor" who does no such thing, they turn around and resell this stuff wholesale and also on eBay and stuff.

                            Old Harddrives you say...

                            Well... I use my old harddrives for testing out linux and other misc things which I would not do on my main system...

                            I was hosting my own website PrismVoD.com on a old 2GB harddrive for a short time as a test project using Dynamic DNS !!!

                            But I find it make for a great night just to slam them into the floor full force...

                            Later,

                                                          They do all our paper shreading, I didnt know they did hard drives too.

                                                          I take mine apart, keep the magnets,as someone said, hella strong. and the platters I used to take the angle grinder to, but lately I have been jsut bending them in half with a vice.

                                                          I like the coaster idea though, would go nice with the black leather couch, although they would be a bitch to keep shinny.

                                                          My CD/DVD's I jsut break in half inside a garbage bag so the bits dont make a mess everywhere.

I have used them in the past as temp back ups, etc. But since I now build myself a new computer every 12-18 months, they either move from PC to PC, or get put in a nice pile depending on the size.

                                                                                      I've cleaned/deleted/reformatted a few times. But once the time comes, they will probably be target practice. I do not trust some company to shread HD's, and while I do sell off older parts on eBay. HD's I never have, nor would.

                                                                                      Should You Email Your Members?

Mine happens to, but they have to take them back to the main plant to do it. So instead I take them to the plant and I insist on watching them destoryed in my prescence. I dont want them giving them to the government behind my back.
