Throwing out old computer
In ,
Colin Barnhorst typed: I keep a couple of old boxes around just so my wife loses count and I can get away with a new computer for months before she catches on. bg When I get a new computer, my wife gets my old one. Her needs are much lower than mine, so this way we both get upgraded and everyone's happy. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup I'm using an old 233mhz in my office for my accounts, and it's on my LAN and works ok! -- Kath Adams MS MVP - Windows (IE/OE) In memory of Alex Nichol Harry Ohrn wrote: I know many, many charities that will take 600mhz system.

Open up the case and remove the hard drive. Close case and replace screws. Place hard drive on hard surface (outside is best). Put on your safety glasses and grab your 20 lb sledge hammer. Now wack the daylights out of it so nothing is left. That is the best way. You can try a scrubber, but is your data really gone? Do you really want to take the chance? I wouldn't. Now donate your old computer to a good cause and get a write off for this years taxes. |
