You can always shred it, but the far more entertaining way is to stuff it in a microwave oven atop a short styrofoam cup, and nuke it. In less than 5 seconds it will spark and make an amazing if short science-fiction looking shower of sparks. The resultant "CD" is entirely crinkled and completely unreadable. Shreding is more practical, but definitely loses in the fun department. --STeve Andre' Political Science
