Destructo Mode

I'm in the process of cleaning up my home office. The "process" is long overdue. I've got several large boxes of personal papers, receipts, etc. to wade through. I've also got a large collection of old floppies and CDs that I want to get rid of. I'm quickly realizing how much more work it is to collate, collect and dispose of things than it was to accumulate them in the first place. Shredding papers is tedious. Scanning through floppies and CDs for useful content and then making them unreadable is a huge pain. I think the lesson learned is to be careful what you keep.
