    The same, of course!

    But I was curious, based on your last paragraph: if someone came with a subpoena before you had done your daily "exit sequence," that your computer would not be "totally - clean" and you wouldn't have your "plausible deniability," and just wondered if you had a contingency plan.

    rich - It's really not an issue here, I do it because it's fun (gotta keep up the "spy1" image, ya' know). Having any potentially sensitive files on a permanent Eraser "On Demand" list doesn't hurt, either. :D

    Which is a good thing, considering the fact that getting "served" with a subpoena can be hazardous to your health (see my answer to a question along similar lines here: http://bbs.heidi.ie/viewtopic.php?t=2276&sid=6fbe4c0d3dbe5fbc8d7b8949b597781c ).

    I stand by and firmly pratice my own advice there. Pete
