i'm torn between the data protection burn the whole thing down and format the drive or data archival preserve the files that are sufficiently anonymous
so the ibook g3 i bought on ebay is mostly word documents
judging by the file names (i have chosen not to open any of them) it was owned by either a librarian, or a book editor, or a review writer. there are things like book of the year reviews from 2003 to 2006, interview transcripts, letters and personal documents. the person i bought it from was clearly aware of the documents in it as "opening a word document" is all the testing they did before selling
ebay is bamboozling me man yodel says it's like two towns over and not gonna be delivered until tomorrow
i really gotta start a youtube channel so that people will send me rare things for free in the mail
