    Brilliant explanations contrex and Thanx ! !
    I'll second that!

    It's really quite amazing when you consider the speed it all happens at.

    Just to complete my in depth education...
    1 burnt or magnetized pimple = 1 bit
    8 bits = 1 byte
    and on we go from there, yes?

    Except for the pimple part...otherwise we would be having to watch ProActive infomercials 24/7...

      Can't comment on Killdisk.

      Check out DBAN though.
      http://dban.sourceforge.net

      There is a nice ReadMe there, and an FAQ section.
      Also forums.

      And a list of similar software.
