I would think there are plenty of programs that will wipe the boot drive without doing anything special. The OP should just look for free disk wipe programs. The other alternative is to just smash the drive with a hammer, if it's a real old PC and of no use anymore. |
| "tb" <nospam@example.invalid>: Oct 25 06:04PM I live in the U.S. and would like to get Spectrum (the cable company) Internet and Voice plans. As for the Voice plan, Spectrum offers Spectrum Voice International (SVI) that would allow unlimited calls in 70 countries or low-per-minute rates in the rest of the world. Back when people had a traditional telephone landline (copper wires), one could choose a long-distance provider of his choice. That would also include international calls. Typically such providers charged lower rates than the telco (such as AT&T). Does anybody know if such choice exists when getting a Voice plan through Spectrum? Spectrum peoples told me NO!, but I'd like to make sure that I am not given wrong info... -- tb |

They were less than most carriers back 25 years ago, IDK how they compare now. It is another step, but if it saves enough, could be worth it. |
