You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Maybe it's a disposable shredder?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The upper photo seems to show a latch on the front, underneath the logo. Is the top supposed to tip back? Or come off entirely?

If it is I paid way too much for it.

No latch, dcp. That's an image of another model at the top of the page. The top doesn't do anything, the bin is just supposed to pull out, but it's stuck.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

overfilled?

sometimes you can tamp down the contents by shaking and bumping....

Art Crawl!!!

ita, can I do that even if my home computer can't recognize the nano because I can't dl the more uptodate itunes on it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It doesn't recognise the nano as anything at all? You may be out of luck then.

I don't think it's overfilled. I can see a good inch of space above the shredded paper.

Black & Decker recommends I just keep struggling with it or take it back. Sounds like it might be a known bug with this model. Thanks for trying, buffistas!

sumi, if you can get the file moved to the computer you want it (on a thumb drive or over the network, maybe) you should be able to import it into that library. I know I've done that with music files and it should work with video.
