This is a question DIY Techno-hacks

Old hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.

Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?

Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

That
wouldn't be that difficult to set up.

I tell you what, you get hold of a barcode scanner (preferably the older PS2 ones - about 20 quid on ebay) and an old PC (with a soundcard and speakers so it can read back to you what has just been scanned - if you can get hold of a touchscreen so much the better), and I'll write the software for you.
