Mine also. Some companies direct you pull all emails older than say 3 years off the exchange server into a pst file, then delete all the unimportant ones. If you didn't put those pst files on an alternate drive, they could possibly be lost if you had a computer problem. I'm not an Exchange guru, so I don't know what the server actually does when you pull an email from your account into a personal folder.

I understand about recycling HDs, but in my experience you didn't "recycle" them to get the $0.04 worth of aluminum in the case. You "recycled" them to prevent the possibility of someone reading the info off them later. Here's Best Buy's pitch.

and we’ve had a lot of questions about how to safely destroy data on the hard drive. We know the stuff on your hard drive is much more than “data.” It could be your tax records, or your 8,900 music tunes, or precious pictures of Jimmy’s first steps. So here we show you how to protect your information by removing and destroying your hard drive before recycling your machine.

The PD-4 is designed to physically destroy hard drives in order to prevent persons from being able to "spin" the hard drive up to retrieve data. The PD-4 will automatically bend, break and mangle the hard drive including the data platters - where the data is stored. Once destroyed, the data will no longer be retrievable.

I would like to know what the data recovery guys saw when they tried to read her HD. I wonder if Sandy Berger was on the IT recovery team.

I wonder if Lerner has her pst files on a thumbdrive somewhere like I always did. If Monica Lewinski hadn't kept that blue cocktail dress, she would have been just another bimbo eruption. I'm just saying if this IRS was really coordinated at the White House, such a thumbdrive would be worth a Presidential pardon.
