there are a few free programs that offer DOD wipe as part of the package. If you need help with it, let me know.
Yes, I know there are logorithims tha can reverse DOD wipe, but really, why would someone do that to a personal laptop?

It's that time of year....Shawn says he is sending the sump on Friday..I wonder how long that will take to make it here..
I hate waiting on stuff, but I love getting it....I could never work as a delivery guy. All those plain boxes that I wouldn't know what was in them, would drive me crazy. They would find me on the side of the road somewhere ripping boxes open to peek...LOL...but I would be gentle and claim I was just checking to make sure they were alright....you know quality control.

That is the only problem with ordering a computer from dell... You have to wait... Then you open up the computer, and you have to set it up. Which takes hours...
Then finally after that you get to play on it...

And if you're lucky won't don't have to deal with there so called award winning tech support in which you'll have to speak to people who you can't understand because they've probably never even been to this country.

LOL...this is funny....we bought Dell computers a few years back at the church I work for....well when we purchased the service agreement, they offered a gold or a silver plan....we asked what the difference was.....WELL....with the gold plan you were gauranteed to talk to an American

what a joke, that we live in AMERICA, BUT we have to pay extra to talk to an American LOL

So it didnt arrive today? I will be here all day long tomorrow. I have to be here for when the plumber arrives. It seems our sewer connection is cloged. Nothing like going into the basement and looking at raw sewage.
