My Home Computer Guy

Getting a new computer is fun, but don't let that shiny new computer smell distract you from protecting your information. Lots of people don't realize that getting rid of their old computer (or mp3 player, cell phone, USB drive, or PDA...) doesn't mean their data magically disappears. Data stays on that device unless you take specific steps to remove it--and it could wind up in the hands of people you don't want to have it.
