If you hate classic Mac computers, you'll enjoy this.

CRUNCH!!

[da9000]

I shudder thinking that many 'migies died that way :-(

[motorollin]

What a waste  :madashell:

Also, I can't help wondering if anybody has ever fallen in that machine. What kind of person does that make me?

Probably someone who watches too many horror flicks.  :egad:

People get caught in industrial machinery all the time, unfortunatly. Those warning labels are there because it happened to someone. In the Navy, all safety procedures came about because of someones mistake, often fatal.

All computers wind up in the same place. Its just crazy people like us who delay the inevitable.  :lol:  :-(

Headfirst or legfirst?

[motorollin]

I kinda visualised them falling on to it horizontally and being sucked in evenly. But legfirst would be the worst. I don't actually watch horror films, so I think I'm just psychotic.

According to me it's not funny at all this video!
It's a waste!
At least for a Macintosh Classic I mean.
It's design it's a masterpiece and this is History!
I own one of this!
And even a broken one would be worthy to make a tiny aquarium puttin' in red fish!
I thing that this would be much nice!

I know a couple of people I would like to throw into that.

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Even IF you don't like the thought of throwing old dead MAC's into a grinder, at least there's other video's of stuff like cars, couches, and refridgerators getting turned into tiny little pieces.

Better melted down, and reused, than sitting in a landfill.

So many Macs, too few grinders

Well, the angle over the shredder is sorta suggestive of the inherent danger. It was my first thought too. I noticed a few of the related vids appear to be handheld from that vantage point. No way I'd trust my sense of balance that much.

Now I'm just pissed at all that waste. We're such thoughtless creatures.  :-(

[Gaiyan]

Aww... There was a Color Classic. In my opinion the coolest looking computer ever made.

Melted down into what?

Isn't it easier to separate the materials before you grind them up?

I've "heard" of a man falling into the wood chipper at my hometown's paper mill. The machine shreds through whole trees in seconds. They never found him. They recovered part of the sole of one of his boots though. It's probably just an urban legend...

I would hope such equipment has some security measures nowadays...

I am not mac fan, but still found this distasteful. I am sure some collector would have wanted one of these.
