    "Sensitive information for shooting down intercontinental missiles as well as bank details and NHS [National Health Service] records was found on old computers, researchers say.

    "Of 300 hard disks bought randomly at computer fairs and an online auction site, 34% still held personal data," reports the BBC at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/8036324.stm

    So PeteC is right - there's nothing like a sledgehammer to protect your data when you get rid of an old PC.
