Scroll down, I'm bottom feeding now.  LOL Alexander Skwar wrote: Dale schrieb: Those forensics folks sure are good though. I have heard they can get it back even after you have wrote alternating 1's and 0's to the drive a dozen times. Where have you heard that? I don't think they can do that. I wonder how they do that? Me too. Dale P.S. I like to top post, does this tick anybody? Yes, it does. VERY MUCH SO. I also prefer top posters since my email opens at the top instead of the bottom anyway. Bullocks. You scroll down while reading and at the "interesting" parts, you insert your comment. Just like I did now with those two sentences. Saves me from having to scroll down. Hard do see, to which part you're refering in a quote. Alexander Skwar I saw that on one of those forensic shows.  They recovered some data and convicted the guy to boot.  I have no clue but it was a real story not make believe.  I heard on the Screensavers ages ago that NSA can get almost anything back unless it is physically destroyed (sp?).  They even showed the guy shreading some platters from a hard drive. It sounded unbelievable but they did it. Let's have a vote on who wants me to bottom post and change it in Mozilla.  LOL Oh, I HATE to scroll.  I need a new mouse OK.  The wheel sort of sticks.  I'm disabled so I can't afford nothing fancy.  I think my meds mess up the wheel.
