Exactly! One of my buddies from the semicon industry has now been involved with an electronic equipment recycling outfit in Sunnyvale for a couple of years. BIG BUSINESS! Besides selling off old medical electronics equipment to India and selling the PCBs to yet another company retrieving gold and other metals in the process, the resale of good pre-used but FULLY SCRUBBED drives of certain reliable brands like Hitachi, is BIG BIZ. These guys are licensed to handle (buy, scrub and resell) government phased out equipment incl the lucrative drives removed, wiped and re.certified. /Taro
