UCLA laptop theft exposes ID info

Don't look at drive contains before formatting?: You should always look at what's on a computer before you wipe out the hard drive. It can be very entertaining. In my neighborhood we put our junk out by the street to be picked up by the garbage collector. I usually intercept any PC's I see. (Many times they are perfectly good computers. It's just that Windows has crapped out and they don't know what to do. I usually put Linux on them and give them to friends.) Anyway back to what I was about to say. I've found PC's with people's total financial picture on them. I also found a documented progression of someone's impending devorce. It's better than real life TV.; Posted by: km4hr@...
