Erase-O-Matic EOM 1

I know that you have nothing on your hard drive that you are concerned about. Everywhere that you visit on the web is strictly above board, right? Yeah, that’s what I thought. We all have little skeletons in our virtual closets that we would rather keep to ourselves. But what happens if you are ready to ditch your old computer for an upgrade? Can you be sure that once you trash it that some skeevy little weasel won’t get his grimy hands on your info and start a new life? Now you can harness the power of some damn strong magnets to make sure that your data is erased once and for all with the Erase-O-Matic.

Corny throwback name notwithstanding, the Erase-O-Matic is basically a plastic box with rare-earth magnets inside. Take magnetic recordable media, insert into box, say goodbye to your data forever. That’s about the gist of it. The brainchild of retired Army person Melvin Roberts, the Erase-O-Matic is meant to provide you with a quick and energy efficient method for completely erasing VHS tapes, audio tapes, data tapes, camcorder tapes, floppy disks, and Zip disks that contain obsolete personal, privacy, sex tape, medical, and financial information. It’s simple and effective and it uses no electricity.

The Erase-O-Matic EOM 1 is available for sale at www.erase-o-matic.com for a mere $395 and is meant primarily for the SOHO user. If your data destroying needs require even more magnetic mojo you can pick up the EOM 3, essentially the big brother to the EOM 1, for $1,495. You can shove entire hard drives in that big boy.
