Hello Everyone,

I've been reading this post with great interest. Firstly I have to admit that this kind of thing is one of the reasons I no longer use the net for purchases. I feel if companies wish me to use their services, then it is up to them to provide the security needed - NOT ME.

Secondly, (and this is for Bill please) I have so many passwords/important details I use for various reasons, it was becoming difficult to remember them all, so I listed them in Word, saved them to Floppy Disk, then deleted the Word document from the PC and am now just loading the floppy to retreive the info when needed and then repeat the delete process.

My question to you Bill is:-In view of the ever increasing 'crafty' ways these hackers and the like have of getting in to your PC, is deleting the Word document enough? Why I ask this is because I have heard that it takes time for deleted matter to 'drop off' your hard drive. I and many others I'm sure would value your comments on this.
