With proper lighting the camera on the iPhone is pretty stout.

You couldn't do that much damage with a 45. Didn't know the iPhone packed that much more of a wallup!

A 35 to my eye and a 45 by my side.
What say you?

The forensic beagles can still recover data or so they claim..

A flower pot full of Thermite and a lit magnesium sparkler can add to the entertainment value and complete irrecoverable destruction.

That's why a hammer is their worst mightmare; shattered platters are almost impossible to reconstruct. Makes for lousy pics, tho.

Looks like a piece of art work to me. Now I want to tear one of mine apart, then print photos on the plates, then mount all to a base for a new art photo display!

That is actually a cool idea. Wonder what it would cost? Hmmm, prolly more than I would be willing to spend.
