Two ideas: 1) You can try a .50cal rifle, and 1 round can go through quite a few of them. Contact me privately if you want to give this a "shot."
2) If the individual disks ( 2 - 4 to a drive) are similar size and thickness, you can make a handy little Tesla-style disk turbine or pump af a mechancal engineering project. - GLL Original Message: ----------------- From: Richard C.

The only reason I still have them is that there is personal data on them. I realize that if they failed it is unlikely they could be recovered without expensive equipment, but I'm wondering if the best thing to do is to convert them to blocks of aluminum with holes in them. I'm thinking that I could drill a hole through each one of them before sending them to recycling and the old data will be hard to get, even with the expensive equipment. Any better ideas? -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com – Enhanced email for the mobile individual based on Microsoft® Exchange - http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
