  Maybe but no very effective since 99+% of the disk is intact and all that
data could be recovered. When I worked at Martin Marietta, we removed the
hard drives and dissolved them in acid per DOD requirement. At first we
dissolved the entire computer in acid but it finally dawned on them that
that wasn't necessary. Hmm, I wonder if that's one reason why there are so
few old computers left?
