Jeepers Harry, we're bad enough at controlling our own pollution here on
earth without dumping it into outer space and inflicting it on to some
other life form.

Didn't I tell you it was a bad idea, too, Mart?
To me this entire situation seems as if not fully explored but, hey, I am
not an "expert" either..... H.

I think the sledge hammer followed by the recycle bin is a better course
of action.

Mike, not sure that I would be happy sending a 'faulty' drive back, even
under warranty, if it contained personal data no matter how damaged it
was. I'd be happier destroying it beyond all recognition and write it
off than trusting it to some spotty kid in a 'Returns Department' after
reading the numerous scare stories.

A sledge hammer is the only effective tool I can think of to accomplish
that, Mart, besides machinery or high intensity fire.

no, bad idea too g. H.

Mart, I've got the tools required including the hammer however I'm not
sure that LaCie would be happy about replacing a defective drive under
warranty if it were to have been returned with the case smashed! vbg
What I was trying to do for my friend was to recover data from the disk
before he returned the drive as being defective.
