This apparently renders it useless until it is returned to the manufacturer for a low level format. Apparently quite effective. Yeah, but it would be much more fun if they had yard out back where they blew them up. They could film it send you the mpeg as proof .... |

| 339657 | 2005-03-31 11:51:00 | Microwave it. That makes the data unretrievable with anything. That would leave the data intact but fry the electronics, voiding the warranty. Fun idea, but pointless. We have been through all the folklore methods of data destruction before. The only sure method is incineration, anything else leaves data recovery possible, the amount recoverable depending on how many dollars you want to waste. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
