[ale] destroy old drives

[William Bagwell]

Layer of soft porn between the encrypted stuff and the red herring files will 
add to their frustration;-)

Years ago bought a used 10 GB HD at the computer show in Marietta that was 
from a banks computer. No account info (that I could find) but there was an 
interesting inter-office memo describing the protocol to follow during a 
robbery. Son wanted to save it but it was formated and used in a firewall 
for almost a decade. HD still running when firewall retired...

Oh, if I ever start attending meetings again should I bring my log splitter?
