[muglo] Re: scrubbing a hard drive

What are doing?  Giving the computer to your Mom and your afraid that she'll 
find out who the true you is.  Fill your hard-drive with jpgs erase and do it 
two more times and there will only be file fragments to recover and I doubt 
that there would be many people that could make any sense of them.
