Soā€¦ itā€™s only been recently (within the last 1-2 years) that Iā€™ve really started shredding aeons old paperwork from primary school reports to medical files. Iā€™ve been lugging around this expanda file that I donā€™t really use any more and finally pulled out all the paperwork today.

Itā€™s not a huge pile by any means, but wow, you really can tell the story of someoneā€™s life with this information. Itā€™s kind of simultaneously cool/creepy. Itā€™s also wild how peopleā€™s identities can be stolen with less.

The shredder is going to get a workout.

On a funny side note, finally got around to start wiping my old computer. For something that was running WIN7 with 3 drives (donā€™t ask me), it was surprisingly quick.

Like better than the majority the PCs I work with. It made me wonder why I stopped using itā€¦ Likely portability/outdated hardware.

Waiting it for it to finish ShredOS so I can take it to recyclingā€¦ Honestly, attempting to do all the right recycling things has made realise how time consuming it is. Nothing is simple!

WIN7

I still have a soft spot for that OS. On my win7 'puters, every time chrome says 'gotta update to 10+' I feel sad.
