    You could use a USB adapter.  Pull the drive, hook it up to a
    desktop PC, wipe it, put back in, ???, increased value.

        Phil and I are emptying the "server" room. We set aside a

        think the laptops can go to iSold-It On eBay as miscellaneous
        sold as-is for parts.

        Our quandary is: Do we wipe the hard drives?

        I think we should, but Phil and I don't have time. We are
        concentrating on boxing up the office. Will any volunteer come
        to the warehouse, try to find power bricks for the laptops and
        wipe the drives. If we can't wipe the drives, we'll remove
        them now to drill later. At least, this way, we keep moving ahead.
