Do you know macs?

And do you do personal computer work?

I can spell mac but not very well.

And do you do personal computer work?

That's how I wound up with a dozen or so HDs...

I shot my last laptop PC all to hell then threw it in a scummy pond.

I do lots of PC repair. These were all old 40 and 80 GB drives from old XP computers that had been recycled. I save them up over a year or two and go shoot them to make sure the data is destroyed. Plus it's lots of fun!

Perhaps I misunderstood. So are you saying you keep your client's data laying around unprotected for a year or so until you get ready to destroy the drives?

I keep them in my bathroom next to Hillary's email server.....

Now don't hold back and tell us how you REALLY felt about that old one, LOL.

But as far as the OP, have had TONS of drives I have trashed at different points. I often get ahold of old hardware and try and put something together for people who are a little less fortunate. Sometimes throwing an old computer with linux and some learning games with an office suite will make a kids life a little better or give an adult something they can learn with to better themself.
