Quality shredding/middling shredding
Yes I can confirm your pricing model totally spot on. Except if you buy $50m worth of shredding in a year there is a discount and it's a shade over £750/hour. That's a proper shredding job mind, a big international city-slicking Wharton-MBA-qualified CEO-lunching shredder that gets the strips down to, oooh, 2.5mm, possibly cross-cut too, none of your cheapo country bumpkin provincial polytechnic-qualified 5mm stuff, pah

Re: Quality shredding/middling shredding
Well, that interesting. Except that it couldn't be jfm involved, cos he's never ever in the south of france. Well, yes he is, cos he has a boat there. But anyway, he's never met mrs L. Well apart from at the pub a few months ago. But since then, he's never ever had the opportuntinty for shredding. Apart from that time when Mr +Mrs L were in London at the party, and at the last minute jfm wasn't. Hey ho. Who can it be?

My alibi
No not me. I dont have a shredder at the moment. A man in a funny uniform stormed in one day and took it off me. Dunno why, praps to give it an annual service. He was a nice man, I think he will take good care of it because he put it in a nice clear polythene bag. I think he got the bag from a museum because it had a big sticker saying "Exhibit A".

Re: My alibi
I heard on the radio the other day that some american computer geek has written a software programme that enables scanned shredded documents to be reassembled on screen in minutes.
Looks like another money making opportunity bites the dust

Re: geek invention
.....assuming you get all the strips out of the bin, neatly sorted, (this pile of strips is document A, this pile is document B....) and none missing or turned the wrong way up!

Re: geek invention
No, you scan on the whole lot and it matches the patterns along each edge, ignoring the long blanks at each end. Quite an easy program really. So, deep doo-doo approaches, especially when the puter program somehow matches tables of internal phone numbers with dodgy things from america or middle east.

Sorry to hear it Learner, you should have bought American Pie!
However probably better to be out a little than out a lot.
Good luck and good hunting.

Geek wars - upping the ante
Right. I'm ordering a big incinerator. All beige textured plastic on the outside, so "officey", but 10,000 deg C on the inside hey hey. Let's see if this geek can scan in a pile of ash and read them!
