So what happens when you're retiring a computer that has had your personal financial information on it for the last 7 years, and you really don't want that information falling into someone elses hands?

Why, you uninstall the drive, get a hammer, hand both to your 9yr old son, and say "HAVE AT YE!"

I'd like to see Drivesavers recover THAT information. (Note - I've had to use that company before, usually after an executive does Something Dumb with their laptop, such as check it. At an airport. In a soft carrying case. When an advanced, powerful machine consisted of 20lbs of NEC v80 powah.)
