If you would delete nothing else off a PDA you were selling wouldn't it be this?

Edited on Sun Apr-25-10 09:31 AM by Sen. Walter Sobchak
My girlfriend bought this Peek PDA online off some kid and turning it on this account of the young mans unfortunate encounter with a republican is the first thing that comes up.



Do people delete anything? I find it funny because I personally bought a used Blackberry a while back that came pre-loaded with an address book of girls names with what sex acts they were up for under their names.

Hmm... I am done with this electronic device - I'm just going to sell it as-is. If that is the last thing he looked at before selling it that must have crossed his mind.

Personally, I tossed my old hard drive off a four story building - I guess I am just weird.

1. The best way to destroy a hard drive is to drill holes in it with a good bit meant for metal.

4. Dang, you should have had someone record it and put it up on YouTube.
I'd like to see that!

2. I always wipe a phone before I sell it
Usually phones have a hard reset option that will clear all data off of it and make it like new again. Or you can download software that will do it. I cant imagine just disconnecting it and dropping it in the mail like that.
