    Its funny because even with holes in it some data could still be recovered. ha
    Better off running something like DBAN, saves you from physical harm too.

    Thats no fun.
    Inches? Please.....at one point, I was resting the saw against my ankle to help hold it steady :cool:
    It was 8", and only fell a couple feet. Enough to bust up the toes. That same year, I had a 48" 20 foot peice of concrete pipe "steam roll" me on a slope. Only busted a couple ribs, but one of them was pressing against my lung, so the Dr's. were kinda worried.

    Yeah I have had a few runins with pipe and it usually wins.
    Just to compete I had a LARGE cast iron manhole cover mush my little toes with the help of a city inspector that was holding his side and he let go when it slipped and twisted as it searched out my cute little piggys :eek:.
    He said "oh did it get your foot?"
    I responded very meekly "Yessir"

    Another day in paradise.
