    | I HAVE come across a shredder that could also do hard disks, but it was
    | years ago - it was used to shred whole binders full of paper, including

    |
    | Recently, I've also seen a commercial shredder (priced around 100EUR,
    | IIRC) in an electronics shop that would eat paper and CD/DVD media...
    |
    | Of course, if you REALLY want to destroy a hard disk with all the data
    | on it, thermite is your agent of choice - much more fun than a
    | shredder, and you won't get any data back from the lump of
    | iron-with-assorted-other- metals that is left over after the fire is
    | out :-)
