having said that, very few people have anything important enough worth 
spending that kind of money on. a couple of hundred dollars an hour of so 
many dollars per megabyte. easier just to mug you and take your keys.

Doug's right. But more: I have filmed at one of the world's leading
information recovery services here in the UK, where they specialise in
data recovery.

They have techniques so sophisticated that the managing director told me
over a pre-filming cup of nice hot Brownian motion producer (tea) that
there is no safe method for burying info on a traditional computer hard
drive. He was matter-of-fact about it and said that the only way to be
sure was to hammer a large nail through the platters and then burn them!!!
