There's loads of advice on Usenet that people give that they would never 
in a million years practice themselves. Reminds me of the 'my video card 
doesn't fit' thread with the 'just take a hacksaw and trim the 
connectors' advice, followed shortly thereafter by 'it still doesn't 
work'...

Anyway, the Kensington thing was complete shite, and our paper shredder 
died (we're still searching for the receipt as it was under warranty) so 
we went to office works and got one that did cds and paper and had a 
five year warranty (it's currently $100 off). It works great. The Dick 
Smith one (also at Tandy) requires you to fold every sheet of paper in 
order to fit through the narrow slot, and the thought of a thousand 
paper cuts did not appeal to me.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my 
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in 
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone 
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow 
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
