Thank you for posting this..I recently tried to find out when the next event was being held! This is a wonderful public service offered!

 

does anyone know if they will shread old computer floppy disks?

 

I doubt most would know what a floppy disk is in today's world. Telling your age.....:mrgreen:

It probably doesn't matter. Does anyone still have a drive that can read them? :lol:

 

Most titanium blade shreders should take care of that, mine will, mine handles about 16 sheets of paper width and multiple credit cards.

They sure do, I know of one organization that still has those old 1" tape readers stored in temperature controlled conditions just in case. To think that as sleaze ball hacker bent on ill intent wouldn't have a 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 inch drive would be a mistake.

 

a friend of mine contacted craig olive and they will not shred floppy disks at this event

 

not so old here sherry. not as old as you. lol. just not a teckie and delayed not using them until i purchesed a new computer.

"The Sony Corporation, which created the 3.5 inch floppy disk in 1981, will cease production of the format next year 2011. That is when they will become obsolete. ."

 

I didn't realize they were producing them until 2011, wow. I still have some too, and I really need to get rid of them. Not sure why I still have them, but since your post I know I need to destroy them.
