Yeah, interested! I don't have a wealth of drives but I can kick some in. Could make a <BR>
great YouTube moment. Just remember we have to use: skill, daring and prowess thereby<BR>
not blowing ourselves up in a big blue ball of flame of failure. We wouldn't want to end-up<BR>
on Viral Video Film School now would we?<BR>

<B>Subject</B>: [ale] Thermite party<BR>

All,
Is there any interest in doing this as a group? Maybe in March or April.
I really do have about 50 in-operative drives I need to destroy at
some point. If 50 dixie cups of poor man's thermite can be had for
$100 or less, I'd be curious to try it out. (fyi: P'tree Shredder
will shred them for $7/ea. so $350 is my worst case cost.)
We'd need to find a large area of dirt where the fire department won't
come shut us down I assume.
Anyone else have a collection of drives they need to destroy?
Is buying the chemicals going to put me on terrorist watch list?
Greg
