I don't know if this is a joke or what, but, this will not make data on harddrives unrecoverable. I see stories on the news, etc. sometimes about taking a drill or other device to your harddrive, or individual drive platters.. etc.. given, there are not many people who would go to such lengths to recover data from them, but it's still possible. BTW, if anybody goes and takes their harddrives apart or otherwise destroys them... I know an artist who wants the magnets from them. -- msimons@slackware.com INFORMATION*MEDIA*PHOTOGRAPHY www.michaelsimons.com Creative Arts Resource Project : PTMaterials Exchange : www.pleasetake.org A 501(c)3 Non-profit Organization Arts and Environmental Resource Network Shopping Online?
