Protecting Your Personal Data

Are you selling, trading or donating your laptop or desktop computer? Will your personal and business data be available to the buyer? Seven out of 10 hard disk drives resold in 2004 had data on the drives.

Removing the data from a hard disk drive can be accomplished by a "three times over write". There are many commercial software products available that will provide this function.

Are you prepared to wipe the hard drive and resell your laptop? The wipe of the hard drive will only take a few hours. Now the problem will be reselling or donating the laptop/desktop. Most charitable agencies will not accept a computer that will not boot up to an operating system. Reselling a computer that will not boot to an operating system is very difficult, generally limited to computer resellers and geeks. Rebuilding a computer after a hard disk wipe is not always easy, an operating system disk, drivers and applications will be required.

The simple solution is to send your laptop to WOFTBO. We will buy your laptop for resale and provide a certificate of data destruction. We can also wipe and rebuild your computer for resale or donation.

Nancy's Nuggets

Nancy is on vacation this week, so in her place, we thought we'd bring you some "nuggets" from another of the world's great comedic sources, Yogi Berra.

You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.
When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
The future ain't what it used to be.
A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.
It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.
Baseball is ninety percent mental. The other half is physical.
Nobody goes there anymore because it's too crowded.
You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going because you might not get there.
I don't want to make the wrong mistake.
If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?
Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.
You can observe a lot just by watchin'
Always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't go to yours.
I never said most of the things I said.
