I've got three old Toshiba laptops that I want to throw away (Win 3.1,
Win 95 and XP respectively).  Can anyone suggest a decent free
programme I can use to wipe the hard disks?

Alternatively, it strikes me that it might be simpler to take the
disks out and break them up - how does that sound?

TIA,
