Ya know - $130 bux out the door for a do-hickey that sort of embosses surfaces of a CD - so you can what... store it in the
"FUBAR CD" drawer?
Run it thru that machine and then shitcan it?
I was going to make the same point that Ben made: scarf up on a
garage-sale microvave for about .001 of the cost of the ShredderGoody(tm)
and then have a great deal of fun pretending that they're the dying
Enterprise, disintegrating in colorful flames as it makes it's last
re-entry...
Now that's a truly nerdy way to 'format' a CDR...

What's wrong with just breaking the cd in 2 and tossing it in the trash? Or
if your a "girly man" (just a joke) just scratch the data layer. Unless you
are doing top secret government work for a foreign nation nobody is going to
even try piecing the thing back together with high tech gear. $130 is just a
bit pricey for a cd shredder in my opinion. Oh, and for those who like to
nuke things that should not get nuked, does your food taste a bit strange
after you blast metal ions and pieces of carcinogenic polymer around in your
food warming machine?
