I have a drive on my desk a coworker gave me... he 'archived' it by

putting about 7 .45 caliber holes in it with his semi-automatic...

I know of another guy that dropped his drive(s) into 2 feet of wet

cement... can you imagine archeologists 10,000 years from now trying to

figure out how the heck THAT computer worked??? <g>
