For *all* cases, incineration of the HD is the best option. :-) Regards, Bob Eye Dallas, TX --- Bruce Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Sep 2, 2005, at 6:38 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Hi, > > I'd like to scrub my old hard drive before parting > with it since my > > finanical > > information has been on this one.
