We have a couple of older computers that run win98 and fucking ME and we want to donate them but a friend said we should Wipe them before we do. Apparently it will remove all our personal info from the harddrive, etc. Unfortunately none of us knows how to accomplish this short of a low yield Nuke....Do any of you wire heads know how this gets done? Remember, you have to explain it to me like I'm the banjo player on the river trip...ok?
