I've been wrong with loads of technology.
I thought OS/2 was the future and way better than that crap that was being done by Microsoft, and I also really wanted BeOS to do well :(

That sounds pretty hardcore!
I only really got into linux around 1999 and chose SuSE as that was the "supported" distro at my work.
Before then I'd tried an early Slackware and I didn't get very far.
I really liked the SuSE install process and I still think YaST is the best installer.

Maybe he thought "right, i'm going to prove this bastard wrong", and we should actually be thanking you 😝

ouch - it's more than I remember new: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fellowes-Powershred-Shredder-Office-SafeSense/dp/B0067Z98R8
I don't think I would pay that much for it, but it is robust.

I will get the model for you when I get.home in an hour - it would have been around £200 new. I got it for £35 and its great for the price!

I've not used one for worms, but I shred paper for rabbit bedding when we have it (eventually it will be composted!). I bought a second hand one cheaply and it is good. Note - get one that has a decent rating - # of sheets they can cope with is of course on a good day and when all of the pages are completely flat - no creases. Each crease is equivalent of another layer.
We had a 3 sheets shredder and it could only really cope with 1 sheet if it wasn't completely flat :(
The one I have now is rated for 18 sheets, so I don't really need to care how flat everything is. It's great for the brown paper that delivery companies use to pack parcels - rip it into 2m sections, fold it 2 or 3 times and then feed it through 😀
