I think within the last year. I also have a USB external floppy disk drive. I still have a lot of old files on disk that I haven't used in ages. I'm thinking of transferring and burning to a CD or DVD and getting rid of them.

My shredder will shred CD's and DVD's, but obviously not 3 1/2 floppies. But pull out the metal shield and snip the film with a scissors, and they are secure against any low level identity thief.
