Oh sure! It looks easy on a big new machine like that. But can you imagine what Vista would do to my four year-old Fellowes portable?

Which is why Apple's come up with their campaign "If you're going to have to buy a new computer to install Vista - why not buy a Mac?"

Of course

"The Mighty Mac is the ultimate garden shredder" http://www.amazon.co.uk/Allen-510-Shredder/dp/B000KFWGWK  (? a subsidiary of Apple)

It can be deployed as the hardware implementation of the chaffing cryptographic technique (see "Chaffing and Winnowing: Confidentiality without Encryption" http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~rivest/chaffing.txt) and can be retrofitted to paper-tape punch output devices ( see http://ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/samp-collection.html#Altair-BASIC-Paper-Tape  if you're not of that era )
