I have the perfect solution. This will amaze your friends as well. Put the CD in a microwave and set for 3 to 5 seconds. (More than 5 seconds can ruin the microwave) Watch through the window. Instant light show. Only one show per CD. STeve << I know that this is a little off topic, but I thought that this group should have plenty of experience with this. What is the best way to destroy used CD-R's? I have several that have personal backup data which is very old that I no longer need and I do not want to just throw them in the trash with this data still accessible. What does everyone think? Thanks in advance for all of the input. Dwayne >>
