Phil and I have two old laptops that have been collecting dust on a shelf for over a year now. Neither computer works, it's just that we didn't exactly know how to dispose of them. Especially since "identity theft" is such a big deal these days.
Well, during our big clean yesterday, we decided to get rid of these laptops once and for all! How, you ask? Well, this is how my paranoid hubby decided to handle this matter:
1) Throw away cords.
2) Throw away batteries (the only part you can remove without a screwdriver).
3) Get out toolbox and attempt to unscrew other pieces of laptop. Fail. No screwdriver was small enough.
4) Get out an assortment of small knives to use in place of screwdrivers. Success!
5) Not-so-carefully unscrew the different compartments on the bottom of each laptop.
6) Get out hammer and take out life's frustrations on removed compartments.
7) Consider throwing each individual compartment in various dumpsters outside. Too much work. Instead, throw out pieces into different garbage bags INSIDE.
8) Laugh at the ridiculous measures taken to protect our (desirable???) identities. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Let's hope there's no criminal out there bored enough to find all of the pieces, repair the hammer damage, reassemble the laptops and then find information that could make THEM the new US!!!!
