The natural lifecycle, I reckon.

Well, I haven't lugged it around with me all these years
after its demise - it probably weighed more than my "personal
item," if not quite as much as my full-size carryon. When it
died I made a half-hearted effort to recover stuff but then
submitted it to that Radio Shack demagnetizer thing before
throwing it down my apartment building's garbage chute, at
the bottom of which it made a satisfying noise, whence I
decided the data was probably safely gone enough.

Lucky him. The happy result is not universal, witness Roman
Totenberg's Strad, which remains disappeared after someone
snatched it from the green room at Longy over 30 years ago.

Honey roasted peanuts, eh? Most of the other airlines have
knuckled under to the peanut allergy lobby by now, Delta,
being based in Georgia, the major exception.
