Did you see this article about the guy who’s hard drive crashed? He took his PC back to Best Buy and they told him he needed to replace his hard drive which they did for free. He asked for the old one back (lots of personal info on the drive) and they said no because that is against their warranty policy.

The poor guy just got a call from a guy in Chicago who bought his old hard drive (which Best Buy assured him would be destroyed) at a flea market and it still contained his personal data.

Now I remember why I always build and maintain my own PCs. Unbelievable!
