confidential info on old harddrives.

So what's the problem? Any responsible adult would simply delete/erase the
personal data and move on. Anyone who would consider invading someones
privacy by riffling through their old data files is simply rude and
uncivilized. When someone gives me a computer I offer to copy off any data
onto an archive disk for them, but I then delete it after doing so.

I'm sure that lawyers are the worst because they know that if you did
anything with the information or even made it public knowledge that you had
the information they would successfully sue you for everything you own.
