I don't know!

My old desk top runs Windows XP and I use McAfee as my scanner. I had a look at their home page, but couldn't see anything that looked like a shredding service.... so probably not.

Just so you know....... I laughed when I read that I could always pull out my hard drive and keep it!

Hard drive? What's a hard drive?
I have heard the term, but as an action (like pull out the hard drive), do you realise how alien that is to me?



IF I wipe my hard drive....... will there be any programs left?
Will the new owner be able to access the Internet, or an email server?
Would the screen be completely blank?
Will the factory installed progams still be available?

Can you tell I don't know an awful lot about the workings of computers?

I've bookmarked the sites you provided Jo*Mar and I'll check them out over the next few days. Thank you!
I do appreciate your help.
