Re: [Pen-l] re the FARC computer

["Ruy Lage" <ruy.lage@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Michael

I've been told that it is virtually impossible to REALLY wipe the data
on a hard drive and that with the proper data recovery equipment and
software you can get back your data. But yes, the computer itself,
would have been blown to smithereens, with the hard drive slammed
against some or other tropical tree - waiting to be taken for data
recovery. 

I think whoever came up with this one got the idea from the 'theft' of
the Brazilian computer with all the exploration data on it!

Regards,

Rui

What I want to know is what brand computer survived the bombing raid! I mean, was it a Panasonic Toughbook or some other model made specially to withstand explosives? Where's the capitalist initiative demanding that their model be displayed as the prize? Whatever happened to the art of product placement? Enquiring minds want to know.
