Just be thankful the policy isn’t to do a DOD wipe procedure.  Could be a 
little difficult trying to find an 8” drive… or computer to use it.

Given the amounts of iron oxide flakes that peeled away as I was shredding 
them, I expect that process would have lasted for two, maybe three disks before 
the drive was unusable.

I'm pretty sure, though, that shoving them three at a time through a 
diamond-cut shredder left no real chance of recovering decades-old NMR studies 
or Xerox Star docs (we had two of them in the College when I got here in ’91. 
Amazing machines. )
