| 661582 | 2008-04-23 05:35:00 | What's the best way to do that? I'm currently thinking... -vivid on silver side -microwave -fire -scissors The CDs have personal info on them, so the method I choose needs to make the discs unreadable AND unrecoverable. Any ideas?? |

Also very very baldly scratch them (make the scratches deep), with something sharp will also help. |

| 661587 | 2008-04-23 06:51:00 | Put the CD into a plastic bag and then cover that with a towel (to protect your hands). Snap the disc in half. You will see why you need to have it in a plastic bag when you crack it. :p |

| 661589 | 2008-04-23 08:34:00 | Go down to your local train station and affix the CD to one of the rails, then sit down and wait . . . :lol: Or you can buy CD Shredders, similar idea to paper shredder, which will grind your CD up for you . That is guaranteed to destroy . . . Or, if you've already got a woodchipper . . . . |

| 661590 | 2008-04-23 08:35:00 | Add a file that you really, really, really need to keep onto the disk. Delete all other copies of this file, then place the CD back into the tray and try to read it. It works everytime with me!!! :clap :clap :clap Ken :thumbs: |
