I just gave away three old computers to a salvager... he seemed rather disappointed thata I yanked the hard drives out of all of them...

Every company I have ever worked for, every so often, we'd dispose of old equipment, either via intercompany sales, or to salvagers, we'd spend days fdisking the drives just so any data would be destroted... or at least make it harder for people to get back.
