Anyone know of a computer disposal facility in Vienna? I have a couple of old removable hard disks (for which I no longer have the base unit, and thus cannot be connected to my computer for software erasure) I would like to securely dispose of. One of them was used for backing up my whole system, so I don’t want to just throw them away.

Heavy duty magnet? You know, like everyone has? Rolling Eyes

Yeah, a magnet would do it, but I don’t have one strong enough. I remember seeing ads for such things to erase VHS tapes years ago.

call a couple of hard, pipe-hittin' niggers to go to work on the hard dic here with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.

What call in a couple of Plumbers from an African State, wouldn't it be cheaper to use Austrian Plumbers ?
