| Wipe Out Old Data Before Retiring Your Mac |
|
|
If your old Mac's hard drive contains sensitive data such as financial records or confidential business information, you can use an option on Disk Utility's Erase screen (click the Options button) to write zeros over all the sectors of the hard disk, ensuring that no future owner will be able to resurrect your data.

"I've used several other tech companies and none have come close to The Mac Guys. The thing I like best about The Mac Guys is that they do so much more than just fix your computer. They will also show you how to fix it yourself and make recommendations on which software or hardware might help you out, then tell you the best place to buy it."
