re:hard drives Oh yeah, you'd be surprised what you can recover nowadays. I use salescircular.com to watch for deals. I have a couple of new drives in the closet I picked up with rebates pretty cheap. Usually someone is dumping a Seagate, WD, or Maxtor for 29, 39, or 49 every other week. Office Depot this week has a 300Gig for $49 this week. You're not using an Intel hard drive? :) amazon.com

I've had AMD and Intel processors. From my perspective - not a dime's worth of difference between them.

A few certified CA companies are doing a real serious business with this. Including government PCs received, drives wiped deep - with certificates to the delivering clients on record - and the reselling the drives to a few whole sale companies. They are supposed to work as new and no info whatsoever can be retrieved from those tracks. I have seen one of those operations, in Sunnyvale, recently. Give me a week and I'll get you a link to them. Big business indeed and real pro know how stuff. Taro
