NOTICE: As of August 29, 2025 duties must be paid by the sender before items can be mailed to the United States. The duties must be prepaid and proof must be presented to Canada Post prior to mailing. The added import tax will be unknown until photos, a description and selling prices are submitted to U.S. Customs. This tariff tax must be prepaid and then added to the cost to the purchaser. Too much BS - so I can no longer ship to the USA. Sorry eh? KootenayMac is in western Canada

Destroy your data! 'I just bought your hard drive'

Destroy your data! - thisblogblo.ws
Most of the time you want to avoid destroying your data. But eventually you will actually want to destroy it. For instance, if you were selling your hard drive, complete PC or Laptop on such a service as Craigslist or eBay; you would want to make sure that person doesn't have access to your files, email or personal info. Even if you fdisk your drive and format it, that's not enough.

What's the lesson here? Perhaps when you bring in a computer for service, it wouldn't be a bad idea to bring your own drill. Just in case.
