A nice letter from a client:

I just wanted to share with you my glorifying experience of shredding. My lab has one of those monster shredders that gladly accepts CD's and Credit Cards. I set the nearest computer monitor to play taps and proceeded with the burial. Unfortunately the sound of the shredder was pretty un dramatic, so I had to add my own sound effects much like the sound made during Bob and Tom's "Critter under the sink" skit. I was even kind enough to share my experience with others by allowing them to shred a credit card. I should have charged a fee! Even though the cards were not their own, they enjoyed the same amount of gratification. Hopefully I have influenced others to ditch the credit card habit. It's a little scary to not have the "back up safety net" of thousands of dollars of unsecured credit/evilness, but I am looking forward to moving ahead without it!
 
Thank you, Peter for your advice and encouraging my "planner" habits.
