Here's a little "tidbit" I had not considered. I need a "Warrior techie" to verify.
The salesman at Best Buy told me to hold on to my old computer, after transferring my data and installed programs, for at least 30 days - preferably 60 - before selling it, or giving it away.
He said, all the new owner has to do is plug it in, boot it up, and do a system restore, and they have all your info, including your passwords, email addresses, and any other personal information that you thought you deleted, because the information remains there for a while.
I promised my old computer to a friend, but if this is true, I think I'll hang onto it for a while, so that I can test it before giving it away.
I hope this helped someone.
