How To Wipe a Computer of All Your Personal Data - Popular Mechanics

Today, when Panzer was cleaning the console between the pilot's seat and the passenger seat, he found a wadded up post. Smoothing it out, our curious kitty boy discovered it was a post from the Popular Mechanics site about how to wipe a computer drive clean.

According to the post by Courtney Linder, doing a factory reset on your computer is probably all the average person needs to do to remove the data from their computer. The post includes instructions for how to do it on either a Mac or a PC. The post also includes instructions for how to destroy the hard drive if you think that's necessary.

Three days until Christmas.

Panzer says, "The post is long, but, if you plan on getting rid of your computer, it's worth reading and doing for your privacy.."

Note: This is a large post. Bring a thermos of cocoa and six muffins for today's reading selection.
