Just some thoughts:
If you have data stored on a computer and send it back
to the vendor/service company or whatever, usually you will
have to either tell them (if they are nice..) or have to buy
an "insurance" for not just doing a reset of the system.
This is usually the case if you have bought a Dell / HP or whatever..
they just wipe the system and won't lose a single second of sleep
over it.. UNLESS you have told them to do otherwise..
I'm not saying that this will be or are the case with your computer
but.. beware.. ok?

Just a friendly little note.. :)

Cheers
Stefan
