Welcome back. A good friend of mine only uses frankenputers that he builds out of discarded desktop PC's. It's amazing what some people leave on the hard drives of computers they throw out....

I agree, I once bought some used computers at a consignment auction from the Sherrif's dept.that has case files with names of informants and other stuff that should have never been let out. My brother, who was a deputy in another county ran a wiping program and cleaned them up for me. The Sherrif was shocked that the contractor who replaced the computers had not cleared them.

We buy computers from institutions on occasion and sign a form that all information will be erased. If we will be reusing them, we have a erasing program, if we are going to scrap them, we physically destroy them.

My son just picked one up out of the trash bin yesterday. He said it works fine. They left all their personal info on it. He formatted it and is now using it.

Lost my hammer that had a pick on one side & hammer head on the other. The pick side eliminated all personal data. Now I have to use the blade side of the maul.
