Thanks Jarasan! Exactly what I did with my last hard drive that croaked.... took it apart and smashed the guts with a hammer.

This is a perfect example of the ignorance of technology possessed. These copiers are not recent they've been around for about 15 years. If you have one and want to wipe the drive format it or remove the drive and smash it. I also reccomend not to use public internet access computers.

Thanks Sully! Surprised me too. No wonder home printers have become so popular.

OMG, Never new that ! when I think of all the times a Dr. or some other place needed to copy my drivers license..........I hope they change and destroy the harddrives before they sell them.
